A typical spot consists of a dark region called the umbra, surrounded by a lighter region known as the penumbra. The sunspots appear relatively dark because the surrounding surface of the Sun (the photosphere) is about 10,000 degrees F., while the umbra is about 6,300 degrees F. Sunspots are quite large as an average size is about the same size as the Earth.
A black spot on the sun is known as a sunspot and is a phenomenon that is temporary in nature. It occurs on the suns photosphere and is caused by magnetic activity so intense that it inhibits convection in that particular area.
Sun spots form in pairs when a loop of solar magnetic flux breaks through the photosphere. The flux lines push away the plasma of the photosphere, exposing the slightly cooler layer of the sun just below the photosphere making the spots look dark.
If the spots stay long enough, the flux loop connecting them will pick up plasma becoming a solar prominence. If there is enough energy in the flux lines they might "break" and eject the plasma they have picked up as a solar flare.
There are black spots in the sun. The black spots are the less warmer parts in the sun compared to the other parts in the sun.
The black spots on the sun are called sunspots. sunspots are parts of the sun that arn't as hot as the rest of it
they are sun spots, and there are also busrted of fire called sun flares
it is cooler than its surroundings
The answer is Sun Spots

Dark spots on the Sun are called sunspots. (You knew that was coming, didn't you?)
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.
Because they are cooler than the rest of sun's surface.Even though the spots are cooler,They are still 6000 degrees.The other surface of sun is 10000 degrees.
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!

The sun spots are the cooler spots. They are darker because there isnt much heat compared to the rest of the sun
Because the sunspots are cooler spots on the sun. They are much different from the rest of the sun so the appear really dark.

They''re called sun-spots. They appear as dark 'spots' on the surface of the Sun. The bright 'arches' are solar flares resulting from the storm's energy.
Spots appear dark because they are much cooler than the surrounding area. They are still very hot, but not as much as the rest of the Photosphere.
Sun spots!
Dark blue spots appear to show that there is starch on the plant cells. -Anonymous-
