What do the earths magnetic poles move around?
This happens about once every 50 to 100 thousand years and is called a magnetic reversal.It would appear that the self generated magnetic fields formed by rotating bodies all undergo pole reversals. For instance the Sun does this about every 11 years.
How often is there a polar reversal?
Polar reversal, or geomagnetic reversal, happens on average every 450,000 years, though the range of time varies widely.There is a link to an article on geomagnetic reversal below.
Why does the north pole always points to north pole?
It doesn't! It changes every 200 000 years, interestingly the sun does a polar flip every Solar max, which is every 11 years. Try google search 'South Atlantic Anomaly' the magnetic field is already turning there.
What phases does the sun go through?
The sun at the moment is considered to be in the mid point of its life. At present it is growing a little every year. Every 11 years it increases in sun spot activity. It is at present going through a high sun spot period.
What happens to earth in a years time?
Typically the phenomena that occurs every few thousand years is that an asteroid strikes the earth on the surface. However, the earth is forever changing all the time due to mankind and natural occurences.
What are sun spots on the sun?
the sun spots like black little spots on the sun that explode every 11 years
Every 11 years there is a peak in the number of them?
sunspots (apex)
What changes in 11-year cycles?
Solar flares and sun spots cycle every 11 years. i.e. Every 11 years solar flares are at a maximum before repeating the cycle.
What are facts about on the sun?
The age of the Sun is estimated to be: 4.6 billion years. Every 11 years sunspots 'explode. 100,000,000,000 tons of TNT' would have to be exploded almost every second to match the energy produced by the Sun every second.
What happens every hundred years?
the month, day and year the same number !(; like ex:11/11/11
Every years the suns activity increases?
Every 11 years (or thereabouts, it varies a little) the sun's activity peaks with a sunspot solar maxima.
What occurs every 11 years with the sun?
people who study the sun said that solar flares happens approximately every 11 years. some are small. 93 million miles away... an angry sun vents its rage. Dark regions, called sunspots, appeared unexpectedly on its surface... a sign of rising tension within. It had been three and a half years since the sun last erupted in fury...at the peak of an 11-year cycle of solar flare-ups. A solar eruption in 1859 was so powerful it set fire to telegraph offices... several people got nasty electric shocks, simply because they were working with metal objects... and for the next few nights, auroras were reportedly bright enough to read by. This 11 year cycle is part of a larger 22 year magnetic cycle in the sun where the polarity of magnetic field lines switch causing the flares. It is said every 11 years because that is when the North and South poles of the sun switch, but it takes another 11 years on top of that before they revert back.

What happens when a CMEs happens on the sun?
A magnetic pulse is released and the force pushes the magnetic feild of the Earth. Oh and by the way I am 11 years old makes you feel stupid doesn't it!
When are Auroras most likely to occur?
During the most active times of the Sun's 11-year cycle of emissions, so every 11 years. I think this year is one such.
Why do sunspots move across the face of the sun?
It's due to magnetic activity, every 11 years the sunspots explode and begin to form elsewhere.
How often does a sun spot occur?
about 11 years
