No. Sunspots are related to prominences and flares because they are all caused by imperfections in the Sun's magnetic field. A sun spot is the base of a prominence (they are the same phenomenon) and Solar flares are just enormous prominances. The Earth has no effect whatsoever on the Sun. (Apart from a few very minor technicalities.)
Solar Prominences. See related link for more information.
They are not related to magnetic fields.
Sunspots. See related question.
Solar prominences. They are closely related to solar flares.
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.
the intense magnetic fields
The sun don't really need sunspots cause sunspots are related to several features on the sun's surface but prominences and solar flares need sunspots.Sunspots are the places where the magnetic field lines of the Sun poke out of the Sun to form loops.Where they poke out they are seens as prominences against the edge of the Sun's visible disk during an eclipse of the Sun.The looped magnetic field lines contain energy and are unstable, When they break and reconnect they release this energy suddenly and cause solar flares.

sunspots are caused by the magnetic fields
They are not related to magnetic fields.
Sunspots. See related question.
sun prominences are like loops that come out of the sun if you look it up you'll probly find pictures. solar flares are like prominences but they dont make a loop they just go straight out. the corona is the outer most layer of the sun.
About 50. See related link.

Solar prominences. They are closely related to solar flares.
no one realy knows.
All surface artifacts of the sun are caused by magnetism (Magnesium is an element and does not affect much.) These phenomena include sunspots, solar flares, and plasma ejections.
