An area seen as a dark spot on the photosphere of the sun?
The darkest part, where the magnetic field is approximately vertical to the sun's surface is called the Umbra.
What is the cooler area of the photosphere?
sunspot(s)
What would we see happening on the photosphere?
we would see the heat and light radiating as is it were to explode in that area
Why do sun spots appear dark?
A typical spot consists of a dark region called the umbra, surrounded by a lighter region known as the penumbra. The sunspots appear relatively dark because the surrounding surface of the Sun (the photosphere) is about 10,000 degrees F., while the umbra is about 6,300 degrees F. Sunspots are quite large as an average size is about the same size as the Earth.
What are the layers of the sun made of?
The sun has a magnetic field that gets twisted around inside the sun as it spins. There are places on the sun where this magnetic field rises up from below the sun's surface and pokes through, creating sunspots.Sunspots are magnetic and often have a north and south pole like a magnet. hope this helps!
Why are sunspots darker than the surrounding area?
Sunspots are regions of strong magnetic activity, which inhibits convection from below. The combination of the up-and down movement of gases within the Sun's convective zone and the movement of the sun's rotation produces magnetic fields. These magnetic fields slow down activity in the convective zone. Slower convection means that less gas is transferring heat from the core of the sun to the photosphere. Therefore, regions of the photosphere near strong magnetic fields are up to 3000 degrees Celsius cooler than surrounding areas.
What are sunspots and why do they look darker than the rest of the sun?
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.

A dark area on the sun that has a strong magnetic field?
awan kow
What is the cooler area of the photosphere?
sunspot(s)
In which layer of the sun does granulation occur?
A grainy cloud like substance that comes from the convection area under the photosphere.
What is the difference in degrees between True North and Magnetic NOrth on the topographic map?
It varies with where you are on the earth. It all has to do with your geographic position (lat/lon) and also the magnetic activity of the area. You can acquire a USGS topographical map and it will have the magnetic variation for the area shown.
An area seen as dark spot on the photosphere of sun?
A "sunspot."
What are sun spots and how are they formed?
Sunspots are dark spots visible on the sun that are caused by intense magnetic activity and causes the area where the sunspots are seen to cool the temperature at that area.
What is the area of Magnetic Island?
The area of Magnetic Island is 52 square kilometers.
What would we see happening on the photosphere?
we would see the heat and light radiating as is it were to explode in that area
