they are burnt out spots on the sun so they are dark but from where we see it it is a big bright yellow sun
Sunspots are about 1200 Kelvin colder than the surroundings.
Because just like in a fire Sunspots a cooler than the rest of the surface, and as in a fire the cooler spots appear darker.
The sun spots are the cooler spots. They are darker because there isnt much heat compared to the rest of the sun
Sunspots look darker because they are cooler than the rest of the sun.
A sunspot is a dark spot on the sun's surface. It is darker because it is cooler than most parts on the sun.
The dark spots on the Sun's surface are called Sunspots. These are formed by the sun's magnetic field because these areas have less convection underneath the sun's surface. Convection is how the sun's energy gets to the surface from the core in a circular motion. This reduces the heat in the area and makes the area appear darker than the surrounding sun. However, these spots are still extremely hot and can be many times the size of Earth!
Those are called sunspots. They are regions that are ca. 1200 kelvin colder than the surroundings. The resulting temperature is still very hot compared to our everyday experience, but that's what makes the spots darker than the surroundings.

Because the sunspots are cooler spots on the sun. They are much different from the rest of the sun so the appear really dark.
