You should never look directly at the Sun to try to see a sunspot, as they are not as dark as they look in photographs. The magnetic disturbance that causes a sunspot will seldom occur in the same location twice.
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.
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.
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.
The sunspot cycle is about 11 years in length.
On July 14, 2007, the Sunspot number was 38. This was late in Solar Cycle 23. You can see the daily sunspot number and interesting astronomical phenomena at spaceweather.com.

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.

No they do not. S sunspot is basically a magnetic storm on the the Sun's Photosphere.
