Sunspots appear because of the magnetic fields, they appear black because they're slightly cooler than the surface of the rest of star.
Pairs? No. Sunspots can be singular, but more often develop in clusters.
Sunspots appear pretty much all the time, but there are more of them during a solar maximum.
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 are in the convective zone
Sunspots
Sunspots are areas on the sun's surface where magnetic activity inhibits convection, causing them to be cooler and appear darker than their surroundings. The connection between two sunspots is a shared magnetic field. Sunspots often appear in pairs or groups, with oppositely charged magnetic fields connecting them.
No. They do appear in groups. (if your doing SoS good luck ;D!)
Dark spots that appear on the surface of the sun are called sunspots. They are areas of reduced temperature caused by interactions with the sun's magnetic field.
Sunspots appear on the surface of the Sun, specifically in the photosphere. These darker, cooler areas are caused by magnetic activity on the Sun's surface. Sunspots can vary in size and shape and are often seen in groups.
Sunspots appear dark in color because they are cooler than the surrounding areas on the Sun's surface, which are much hotter. The cooler temperature of sunspots is due to magnetic activity inhibiting the flow of heat from deeper within the Sun.
Sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gases on the sun, which is why they appear darker in comparison. They are caused by fluctuations in the sun's magnetic field, leading to areas of reduced temperature.
Surprisingly, almost all sunspots are found in two bands on the Sun, just north and south of the equator. At the start of the cycle, the sunspots appear at latitudes of about 30 degrees, both north and south of the equator. Then, as the cycle continues, more appear at lower latitudes until, at the end of the cycle, most spots appear near the equator.
