How is the sunspot cycle directly relevant to us here on Earth?
The 11-year sunspot cycle is not especially relevant to life on Earth, but longer cycles that appear to be connected to sunspots may also have an influence on Earth's climate. For example, in the 300 years that we have been tracking sunspot numbers, we have observed two extended minima of sunspots, the Maunder Minimum of 70+ years and the Dalton Minimum of about 40 years. We do not know precisely what the relationship is between sunspot minima and climate, but in each case the lack of sunspots seemed to be correlated with lower-than-normal temperatures. With our modern electronic technological civilization for the past 80 years, however, another factor may come into play. Peaks of the sunspot cycle are also associated with "solar storms" and higher-than-average levels of geomagnetic activity. This can cause problems with unshielded electronic devices, and a severe solar storm might cause widespread disruption of our satellite-based communications networks. In an extreme case, a massive solar storm might cause the failure of many weather satellites, leading the an inability to predict and track tropical storms or provide communications to military command-and-control systems.
What is a sentence for wavelength?
The wavelength of a transverse wave is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs (peaks or valleys).

Why is Mount Shasta famous?
mount shasta is famous for its twin peaks
Why do some craters on the moon have central peaks?
because it is a big crater
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.
How can the wave length of a wave be found?
By measuring the distance between the wave peaks!!

What are peaks in math?
between numbers

What defines a wavelength of a wave?
the distance between peaks of a wave
