No, they are two different things. A sun spot is a cooler spot on the sun and a hot spot is a violent explosion

What are sunspots really?
Sunspots are parts of the Sun that are about 1200 degrees centigrade cooler than the surroundings.
How are sunspots related to prominence and solar flares?
The sun don't really need sunspots cause sunspots are related to several features on the sun's surface but prominences and solar flares need sunspots.Sunspots are the places where the magnetic field lines of the Sun poke out of the Sun to form loops.Where they poke out they are seens as prominences against the edge of the Sun's visible disk during an eclipse of the Sun.The looped magnetic field lines contain energy and are unstable, When they break and reconnect they release this energy suddenly and cause solar flares.
Sunspots are what compared to the gases around them on the sun?
Sunspots appear darker because they are "cooler" than the surrounding area.
How do we known the sun rotates?
If sunspots are moving toward east, then sun rotates east
By observing sunspots Galileo concluded that the sun was what?
was rotating on the circumfrence on deznuts
Sunspots sit on the suns what?
Sunspots sit on the sun's photosphere. The photosphere is the surface of the sun, and sunspots are dark regions on it that are visible. The photosphere's average temperature is about 5800 degrees Kelvin.
What visible evidence do you have that the sun has a convection zone?
Sunspots and convection cells
What are sun spots and how are they formed?
Sunspots are dark spots visible on the sun that are caused by intense magnetic activity and causes the area where the sunspots are seen to cool the temperature at that area.
Dark parts on the sun are?
Dark spots on the sun that are visible with the naked eye at sunrise/sunset are sunspots, which are cold areas caused by the sun's magnetic field.
Why do sunspots look small but are big?
Sunspots only look small in relationship to the size of the Sun itself. Even a "small" sunspot, hardly visible, is as big around as the Earth is.
Visible dark spots on the sun are called?
We call them sunspots, but dark and cool are relative terms. A sunspot is dark only relative to the surrounding solar surface, but still intensely bright compared to your common household light bulb. It's cooler than the surrounding solar material, but still hot enough to vaporize a spaceship and anyone inside it in a fraction of a second.
What are the most prominent visible features on the sun?
A. Sunspots B. Solar Prominences C. Auroras D. Coronal holes
Are sunspots hotter or colder regions of the sun?
No, sunspots are cooler than the photosphere.
Do sunspots occur on the surface of the sun?
What is true about sunspots
Sunspots are temporary disturbances in the sun's .?
Sunspots are the temporary dark spots on the surface of the sun, specifically the photosphere. Sunspots can get as big as 50,000 km long. Sunspots can interrupt terrestrial magnetism.
What are Dark spots seen on the sun are called?
Sunspots. Do not look at the sun directly. You will be blinded. Answer 2: They are called Sun's dark spots. The new study reports that Sun's dark spots seem to form when uranium fission lifts away a large chunk of Sun's core material along with fission fragments into nuclear fallout. A large crater formed at the site of fission appears as Sun's dark spot since no emission takes place from the site, while the remaining Sun's disk show very low intensity at Bharat Radiation, UV and visible light wavelengths.
Sunspots are temporary disturbances in the sun's?
Sunspots are the temporary dark spots on the surface of the sun, specifically the photosphere. Sunspots can get as big as 50,000 km long. Sunspots can interrupt terrestrial magnetism.
