What is an example of a sunspot?
An example of a sunspot is the group of dark spots visible on the Sun's surface, caused by intense magnetic activity. Sunspots appear darker than their surrounding regions due to their lower surface temperatures. They usually occur in regions of strong magnetic fields on the solar surface.
What are sunspot maximums and sunspot minimums?
Sunspot maximum and sunspot minimum are the points in time (roughly 6 years apart) when the sun is producing the most, or the least sunspots. In the past this has been measured both by sunspot area and sunspot count and is directly tied to the solar magnetic cycle.
How many years is the sunspot cycle?
The sunspot cycle is about 11 years in length.
What is the average sunspot cycle in years?
The average sunspot cycle is approximately 11 years, with periods of high sunspot activity followed by lower activity levels. This cycle is known as the solar cycle or the sunspot cycle.
What is the darkened area of a sunspot called?
The darkened area of a sunspot is called the umbra. It is the central region of a sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest, causing the area to appear darker compared to the surrounding photosphere of the Sun.
What is the largest sunspot?
Prominence Sunspot in 1945

How big is a large sunspot?
A Large Sunspot can be up to about 10,000 miles across.

What is a cooler area on the sun's surface?
An area on the sun that is cooler is called a sunspot.
Can you direct me to a picture of a sunspot?
No
Are you in the high middle or low part of the sunspot cycle?
The Sun is rising close to its high, or peak sunspot cycle.
What was the sunspot classification on July 14 2007?
On July 14, 2007, the Sunspot number was 38. This was late in Solar Cycle 23. You can see the daily sunspot number and interesting astronomical phenomena at spaceweather.com.
What is the center portion of a sunspot called?
The center portion of a sunspot is called the umbra. It is the darkest part of the sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest and the temperature is cooler than the surrounding areas.
What is the darkened area of a sunspot called?
The darkened area of a sunspot is called the umbra. It is the central region of a sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest, causing the area to appear darker compared to the surrounding photosphere of the Sun.
