An excellent question. The person who figures out the answer will certainly be in the running for the Nobel Prize in Physics.
The fact is, we don't know. There are a number of conflicting theories, but nothing is yet certain. We don't even know why some cycles are more or less than the average of about 11 years.
Sunspots are cooler regions on the surface of the sun. Visually, they look like dark circles sporadically dotting the sun, and their numbers change from day to day.
Astronomers have known for many years that sunspots are "storms" on the sun's surface, and also that solar prominences seen flaring from the sun during an eclipse probably come from sunspots. what they do not know - yet - is why the sunspots occur in farily regular cycles of many, gradually diminishing to few, and then rising again to many. Times of high sunspot activity are usually also times of high Northern Lights activity and radio interference on earth.
No, magnetic paint just allows magnets to stick to the paint, it is not magnetic itself. Even if it was, it would be much too weak to cause any damage.
we do not know the cause
Among other things the aurora.
Sunspots are regions that are around 1200 degrees Celsius colder than the surroundings. They are caused by magnetic fields, which inhibit convection.
No, sunspots are "holes" in the sun's photosphere that allow you to see the layer just below. They are produced by concentrations of solar magnetic flux lines.
Yes, sunspots are regions on the Sun's surface with intense magnetic fields that are cooler and darker than the surrounding area. The strong magnetic fields in sunspots can cause solar flares and other solar activity.
Sunspots do give off magnetic rays.
sunspots are caused by the magnetic fields
Auroras are not directly related to sunspots. However, sunspots are associated with solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can cause geomagnetic storms on Earth. These storms can enhance aurora activity, making them more likely to be visible at lower latitudes.
A sunspot is a region on the Sun's surface that is marked by intense magnetic activity, which inhibits convection, forming areas of reduced surface temperature. See link for further information
Yes, sunspots can cause auroras by releasing solar flares and coronal mass ejections that interact with Earth's magnetic field. These events can also disrupt satellite transmissions by creating geomagnetic storms that interfere with satellite communication signals.
Sunspots are believed to be the sites where solar flares are generated. Sunspots are known to be "storms" on the sun's surface, but they are not yet fully understood.add The surface of our Sun is about 5800 deg C and above, and naturally most of the material is highly ionized. Thus large electrical currents may be generated, and these in turn cause the magnetic field loops seen as solar activity. These magnetic loops can accelerate the charged ions from the Sun, hence the name Solar Flare..
Magnetism. They are magnetic storms.
Solar prominences may be caused by the intense magnetic fields that are associated with sunspots.
The cooler dark spots on the sun are called sunspots.
