These are called sunspots. These are the cooler darker areas on the sun.They range in size from 800 to 80000 km in diameter. They have very strong magnetic fields that can affect radio communications on earth. They follow an eleven year cycle called the sunspot cycle.

What are the areas of cooler gases brought to the sun's surface through the convection zone?
As strange as it is to think of a body as hot as the sun having such a thing as a "cool" spot, it actually does! These areas are known as sunspots. Their number changes from year to year and they appear darker in color when studied by astronomers.
What are dark areas on the photosphere on the sun called?
They are called sunspots. They are only "dark" in comparison to the brilliance of the rest of the Sun.
Visible dark spots on the sun are called?
We call them sunspots, but dark and cool are relative terms. A sunspot is dark only relative to the surrounding solar surface, but still intensely bright compared to your common household light bulb. It's cooler than the surrounding solar material, but still hot enough to vaporize a spaceship and anyone inside it in a fraction of a second.

What are the cool magnetic fields that dot the surface of the sun?
Magnetic fields that dot the surface of the sun are known as sunspots. Although they are hardly cool in temperature, they are much colder than surrounding areas, which causes them to be visible as darkened spots.
