What are the dark patches on the sun's surface called
It is called a sunspot.
Sunspots sit on the sun's photosphere. The photosphere is the surface of the sun, and sunspots are dark regions on it that are visible. The photosphere's average temperature is about 5800 degrees Kelvin.
The suns rays are most direct around or at the equator.
The dark spots on the Sun's surface are called Sunspots. These are formed by the sun's magnetic field because these areas have less convection underneath the sun's surface. Convection is how the sun's energy gets to the surface from the core in a circular motion. This reduces the heat in the area and makes the area appear darker than the surrounding sun. However, these spots are still extremely hot and can be many times the size of Earth!

They are called sun spots, dark areas that are cooler than the rest of the surface.
