Best Answer

We call them sunspots, but dark and cool are relative terms. A sunspot is dark only relative to the surrounding solar surface, but still intensely bright compared to your common household light bulb. It's cooler than the surrounding solar material, but still hot enough to vaporize a spaceship and anyone inside it in a fraction of a second.

A large crater formed at the site of fission appears as Sun's dark spot since no emission takes place from the site, while the remaining Sun's disk show very low intensity at Bharat Radiation, UV and visible light wavelengths.
