A large number of sunspots indicates a high solar activity, which occurs on an 11-year cycle. Electronic communications can seriously be disrupted during this time.

How do sunspots change over time?
The number of sunspots increases then decreases in a fairly regular cycle, although it's not totally reliable. The time between each maximum or minimum is usually 11 years. I'm not sure if you mean how do individual spots change, but I've just given this answer about groups of sunspots.
Greatest number of sunspots from 1700 to 1800?
10
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.
Are sunspots hotter or colder regions of the sun?
No, sunspots are cooler than the photosphere.
Do sunspots occur on the surface of the sun?
What is true about sunspots
The photosphere is about 100 times the diameter of the Earth and large sunspots are larger than your whole planet?
Yes the photosphere is 100 times the diamater of the earth and large sunspots are larger than the Earth.

What are sunspots.how do they affect earth?
Sunspots are originally thought to be planets. They are darker than the surrounding photo sphere. Sunspots are caused by large magnetic fields

Is global warming caused by sunspots?
Global warming is not generally caused by sunspots. There are studies though, that fewer sunspots can cause dimmer sun and can also mean more cosmic rays in the atmosphere.
Loops that connect sunspots and release large amounts of magnetic energy?

What is the lowest sunspot number?
Sunspots are a cyclical phenomena. The lowest would be zero.
What is the number of sunspots that occurred on April 26 2011?
Somewhere around 15.
Every 11 years there is a peak in the number of them?
sunspots (apex)
What is a sunspot and the pattern that exists in the number of sunspots that are observed?
A sunspot is a dark spot on the sun.The number of sunspots changes in cycles of about 11 years.sometimes there are many, and sometimes there are few.
What part of the sun looks draker?
i think you mean darker. those are sunspots. sunspots are places on the sun that are much cooler than the rest of the sun. but that doesn't mean you could stand on one. it's still very hot.
