Why do sunspots appear darker?
Because the sunspots are cooler spots on the sun. They are much different from the rest of the sun so the appear really dark.
Which area of the sun do sunspots appear?
they are in the convective zone
What are dark spots that appear on the surface of the sun?
Sunspots
What are dark spots that appear on the surface of the sun called?
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.
Which layer of the sun do sunspots occur?
They appear in the Photosphere. That's basically the "surface" of the Sun.
Sunspots are what compared to the gases around them on 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.
What are blemishes on the sun called?
Blemishes on the sun are called sunspots. They appear as dark spots on the sun's surface and are caused by variations in its magnetic field. Sunspots are temporary phenomena that can affect space weather and solar activity.
Where do the sunspot appear?
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.
Describe the characteristics of sunspots?
A sunspot is a region on the Sun's photosphere that is cooler and darker than the surrounding material. Sunspots often appear in pairs or groups with specific magnetic polarities that indicate electromagnetic origins.
Why do sunspots appear dark?
Even though sunspots are fiery white hot, they are somewhat cooler than the part of the Sun around them. When you inspect the Sun through a very dark filter (The only safe way) the Sun itself does not look very bright, and sunspots appear dark in comparison.
Are sunspots hotter or colder regions of the sun?
Sunspots are actually cooler regions on the sun's surface compared to their surroundings. They appear darker because they are areas of intense magnetic activity that disrupts the normal flow of heat to the surface.
Why do the sunspots appear to be darker than surrounding part of the sun?
This is because they are cooler.
