You shouldn't be posting your homework questions on WikiAnswers; especially not when the question does not include the relevant information.
You can see the daily sunspot numbers on http://www.spaceweather.com.

What happens to the magnetic polarities of the sunspots when a new cycle begin?
The number of sunspots is constantly changing. The Sun's activity level goes through an 11 year cycle; right now, we are at the minimum of the Sun's activity, and the sunspot number is very low. (In 2008, there were almost 300 days when the sunspot number was zero.) The number of sunspots will probably begin climbing fairly soon, and we can expect the next solar maximum to occur in 2012 or 2013. You can see the sunspot number at spaceweather.com.
What ways can an astronomer determine when on 11 year old sunspot cycle ends and another begins?
The sunspots in each cycle are of the opposite magnetic polarity. As the number of spots declines to near zero, we can tell when the new cycle has begun when new spots of the opposite polarity are appearing while no "old cycle" spots appear. This has been a difficult transition; the sunspot number went to zero - and STAYED THERE, for nearly two years. Only since December 2009 can we really say that the Sun is becoming more active. The easiest way to track this is on the Web; visit www.spaceweather.com regularly.
What season has the most amount of days?
On average, the seasons have the same number of days. The number of days in a year cannot be evenly divided into the 4 seasons, so, each year, one season will have one more day than the other three. But this is not the same season every year, and, on average, the number of days is the same for all seasons.
How many sunspots will there be in the year 2016?
WikiAnswers does not do fortunetelling. And there is no way to know how many sunspots there will be in 2016. If the sunspot cycle were to follow its normal course, we would expect the "solar max" to occur in 2012 or 2013, and by 2016 we would be on the downward trend to the next solar minimum. But right now, the Sun is NOT following its normal trend; the solar minimum ought to have occurred in 2007, and we should be well on the way to a solar max - but the Sun is mostly spotless, and has been for almost three years now. We expect the sunspot cycle to kick back up any time now - but we've been expecting this for 18 months. This isn't unheard of; the Sun isn't a watch that keeps perfect time, and every couple of centuries, we experience either a very active sunspot cycle or a very quiet one. Perhaps this is the beginning of a quiet time. So we are unable to predict what the sunspot number will be in 2016. You can watch the daily sunspot numbers at spaceweather.com, or see pictures of the Sun each day at solarcycle24.com. Later Update: The answer above was written in October, 2009, when the Sun was essentially spotless. In mid-December 2009, the Sun's activity level began to SLOWLY rise, and now (May, 2010) there are few completely spotless days. We're probably on track for a 2013 solar max.
How many days are in a baseball season?
It varies from year to year. The 2011 season began on March 31 and could extend into early November postseason play.
What were the sunspot numbers for the week?
You can see the daily Sunspot numbers at www.spaceweather.com. December 6: 0 December 7: 0 December 8: 0 December 9: 0 The pages for December 10-14 are temporarily throwing an error message, but I believe that they were zero each day. December 15: 0 In fact, there have been more than 250 days this year on which the sunspot number has been zero. This has been an eerily quiet year.
How much time passes between two successive sunspot minima?
On average, each sunspot cycle takes about 11 years. Some are longer, and some shorter.
How much sunspots are there on the sun during the peak of the sunspot cycle?
At a minimum, there are no sunspots at all, and the Sun can remain spotless for months at a time. In 2009, for example, there were 260 spotless days. In 2008, there had been 200 spotless days - by September! This last solar minimum lasted for about 18 months longer than is "normal", whatever "normal" is. Since December 2009, the Sun has slowly become more and more active, with at least a few sunspots visible almost every day since then. The Solar Maximum in 2004 was QUITE active; the Sun looked freckled!
How often is the sunspot cycle?
About 11 years on average - but there are large variations in the length of individual cycles. Once each sunspot cycle, the magnetic field on the Sun reverts - so the real (underlying) cycle is about 22 years. (It takes two sunspot cycles for the magnetic field to go back to the original position.)

What is the average number of days that the south pole has no sunlight each year?
approximately 180 days
List the features associated with the active sun and describe each?
solar flares are violent explosions in the chromosphere above sunspot groups
What is the average number of days that the South Pole has no sun light each year?
The sun rises once each year at the South Pole, and sets once each year. The average number of days in a year without a sunrise at the South Pole is 182.5.
Each peak on the graph represents a sunspot maximum In which years do these maxima occur?
We'll get right to work on that one as soon as we get a look at the graph.
