Sunspots are caused by very strong, very localized magnetic fields in the photosphere of the sun. These magnetic fields inhibit convection currents within the solar matter, thereby preventing hotter plasma from reaching the visible region of the photosphere. The resulting effect causes a local region of the sun's surface to cool, and this cooler area appears darker compared to the surrounding areas.
What else can I help you with?
Sunspots are a part of the sun why do they look darker?
Sunspots look darker because they are cooler than the rest of the sun.
Why do sunspots look darker than the rest of the sun's photosphere?
Because just like in a fire Sunspots a cooler than the rest of the surface, and as in a fire the cooler spots appear darker.
Why do sun spots look darker than the rest of the sun's photosphere?
Sunspots are about 1200 Kelvin colder than the surroundings.
Are sunspots darker and hotter than the gases surrounding them on the sun?
No, sunspots are darker but they are a couple degrees cooler, not warmer
Why are sunspot darker than surrounding areas?
Sunspots are darker because they are cooler than the surrounding area.
Are sunspots cooler or hotter than rest of sun?
Sunspots are cooler than the surrounding areas of the Sun's surface, or photosphere. While the photosphere has a temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit), sunspots can have temperatures around 3,500 degrees Celsius (6,332 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature difference is what makes sunspots appear darker than their hotter surroundings.
What part of the sun looks draker?
i think you mean darker. those are sunspots. sunspots are places on the sun that are much cooler than the rest of the sun. but that doesn't mean you could stand on one. it's still very hot.
Describe the characteristics of sunspots?
A sunspot is a region on the Sun's photosphere that is cooler and darker than the surrounding material. Sunspots often appear in pairs or groups with specific magnetic polarities that indicate electromagnetic origins.
Why do sunspots appear to be darker than surroundings?
It's because they're cooler.
Why do the sunspots appear to be darker than surrounding part of the sun?
This is because they are cooler.
What blotches on the Sun's surface that appear darker than surrounding regions?
sunspots
Sunspots are what compared to the gases around them on the sun?
Sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gases on the sun, which is why they appear darker in comparison. They are caused by fluctuations in the sun's magnetic field, leading to areas of reduced temperature.
