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.
You can find a chart in the Wikipedia article on "sunspot".
Prominence Sunspot in 1945
Sunspots are dark, cooler spots on the sun caused by the sun's magnetic field. I believe the cycle between highs and lows of sunspot numbers is 11 years.
The sunspot cycle is about 11 years long. This can vary somewhat; the current cycle has had an extended minimum with very few sunspots for about 3 years, and even now the sunspot numbers are very low for this point in the cycle.
Sunspot maximum and sunspot minimum are the points in time (roughly 6 years apart) when the sun is producing the most, or the least sunspots. In the past this has been measured both by sunspot area and sunspot count and is directly tied to the solar magnetic cycle.
A sunspot is a dark spot on the sun.The number of sunspots changes in cycles of about 11 years.sometimes there are many, and sometimes there are few.
This question makes no sense. It's like asking "what is an example of a pencil?" A pencil is a pencil, and a sunspot is a sunspot.
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.
A Large Sunspot can be up to about 10,000 miles across.
The sunspot cycle is about 11 years in length.
No they do not. S sunspot is basically a magnetic storm on the the Sun's Photosphere.
Yes. There is a cycle about 11 years long from the "Solar Minimum" to the "Solar Maximum" to the "Solar Minimum" again. During the minimums, there are few sunspots and not many big flares and eruptions. In 2008, for example, there were 300 days with ZERO sunspots. Today (January 28, 2009) the sunspot number is 11, but for the last week it has been 0. In 5 years or so, we expect the Sun to be very speckled, with sunspot numbers of 300 or more.
