The minimum and maximum refers to the number of sunspots.
The minimum and maximum refers to the number of sunspots.
Sunspots are most numerous during solar maximum, which occurs approximately every 11 years. During solar minimum, the sun is less active and sunspot activity decreases.
Sun spots follow an 11-year cycle, known as the solar cycle. This cycle includes periods of maximum activity (solar maximum) and minimum activity (solar minimum), with the number of sunspots peaking during the solar maximum phase and decreasing during the solar minimum phase.
Maximum time of Day in solar syatem is VENUS, Minimum JUPI..
The dates of maximum and minimum temperatures do not coincide with the dates of maximum and minimum insolation because temperature is not only affected by the amount of incoming solar radiation but also by factors like cloud cover, humidity, and heat capacity of the surface. These factors can cause delays in the heating and cooling of the Earth, resulting in differences between the timing of maximum insolation and maximum temperature.
The cycle of maximum and minimum solar activity, known as the solar cycle, typically repeats approximately every 11 years. During this cycle, the sun undergoes periods of increased sunspot activity (solar maximum) and decreased activity (solar minimum). The duration can vary slightly, ranging from about 9 to 14 years. This cycle influences solar phenomena, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
There are generally two solar eclipses per year. The maximum ever is five; the minimum is zero, as in 2011.
It ranges from 1.361 kilowatts per square meter at solar minimum to approx 1.362 kW/m^2 at solar maximum
Sunspots are most common during a sunspot (solar magnetic) maximum, this occurs periodically, on an 11 year cycle.
Insolation refers to the amount of solar radiation received on a particular surface. Insolation temperature lag refers to the delay between the peak solar radiation and the peak temperature on a surface, as heat absorption and release processes take time to reach equilibrium. This lag can vary depending on factors like the material of the surface and its thermal properties.
It ranges from 1.361 kilowatts per square meter at solar minimum to approx 1.362 kW/m^2 at solar maximum
A solar cycle typically lasts around 11 years, as it is the period of time it takes for the Sun's activity levels to transition from a solar minimum to a solar maximum and back to a minimum again. This cycle is characterized by changes in the number of sunspots and solar flares visible on the Sun's surface.
