Reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot
A sunspot is a region on the Sun's surface (photosphere) that is marked by intense magnetic activity, which inhibits convection, forming areas of reduced surface temperature. They can be visible from Earth without the aid of a telescope. Although they are at temperatures of roughly 4,000-4,500 K, the contrast with the surrounding material at about 5,800 K leaves them clearly visible as dark spots, as the intensity of a heated black body (closely approximated by the photosphere) is a function of T (temperature) to the fourth power. If a sunspot were isolated from the surrounding photosphere it would be brighter than an electric arc.
What else can I help you with?
What is called regions of comparatively low temperature on the surface of the sun?
Prominence
What is the position of an area in relation to the sun?
Slope
In what layer of the sun's atmosphere do prominence occur?
Prominences occur in the chromosphere layer of the sun's atmosphere. They are large, bright, gaseous features that extend outward from the sun's surface.
What does the shape of a solar prominence mean?
The shape of a solar prominence refers to the various structures and patterns observed in the Sun's atmosphere. The shape can provide insight into the magnetic fields and plasma dynamics at play within the prominence. Common shapes include arched loops, pillars, and curtains, each offering clues to the processes shaping the Sun's complex magnetic environment.
What is farther than the earth the moon or the sun?
Definitely the SUN. If the sun were where the moon is in relation to the earth, the earth would be consumed by the sun.
What are loops of matter flowing the sun?
Prominence
What are the basic parts to the sun?
The basic parts of the sun are CORONA,SUNSPOT,and PROMINENCE.
Is a violent storm on the sun called a prominence?
Yeah you got that right a violent storm on the sun is called a prominence and whoever says that it is not needs to go back to school!
What is an arc of gas that erupts from the surface of the sun?
A solar prominence
What is called regions of comparatively low temperature on the surface of the sun?
Prominence
How can you get rid of facial freckles?
Only with makeup. You can reduce their prominence by staying out of the sun too.
Where is the sun in relation to the planets?
The planets orbit the central sun.
In what layer of the sun's atmosphere do prominence occur?
Prominences occur in the chromosphere layer of the sun's atmosphere. They are large, bright, gaseous features that extend outward from the sun's surface.
Where is mars located in relation to the sun?

What is the position of an area in relation to the sun?
Slope
What is the sun's prominience?
A prominence is when a solar flare ejects matter from the suns surface as a stream of incandescent gas.
What is a bright spot on the sun starting with the letter f?
Not really a bright spot, but a prominence, the word is "flare".
