Sunspots are caused by spending too much time in the sun. Although most are harmless, some can lead to cancer. In addition, they are cosmetically unattractive to many people.

What effect do sunspots have on planets?

Sunspots can affect planets indirectly by influencing solar radiation levels and the solar wind, which can impact planetary atmospheres and magnetic fields. However, sunspots themselves do not have a direct effect on planets in terms of physical or gravitational interactions.


Does zeeman effect prove that there are high magnetic fields in sunspots?

Observations show that the spectral lines of light from sunspots are split. This is consistent with them having high magnetic fields (and it's even possible to estimate how high by the degree of splitting), because that's what the Zeeman effect is: the splitting of electronic energy levels (which in turn affects the spectrum of transitions involving those energy levels) by an external magnetic field.The effect itself doesn't directly have anything to do with sunspots particularly, and I'm not certain that I'd use the word prove, but the splitting combined with knowledge of the Zeeman effect is pretty substantial evidence that sunspots are correlated with magnetic flux.


Why are sunspot harmful?

Sunspots are not considered to be harmful to humans. This is because humans to do come into contact with sunspots.


Sunspots are known to be magnetic phenomena because?

Sunspots are known to be magnetic phenomena because they are areas on the Sun's surface where the magnetic field is significantly stronger than in surrounding regions. This causes a suppression of convection, leading to cooler temperatures and darker spots on the solar surface. Sunspots often appear in pairs, with one spot having a magnetic field oriented in one direction and the other in the opposite direction.
