What are sunspot maximums and sunspot minimums?

Sunspot maximum and sunspot minimum are the points in time (roughly 6 years apart) when the sun is producing the most, or the least sunspots. In the past this has been measured both by sunspot area and sunspot count and is directly tied to the solar magnetic cycle.


What is an area on the sun cooler than any other area on the sun called?

A cool, dark area on the sun's surface is called a sunspot. Sunspots are areas of reduced temperature that appear dark against the brighter background of the surrounding solar surface because they are regions of concentrated magnetic field flux inhibiting convective flow.


Is the spectacular eruption of gas from the surface of the sun called a sunspot?

No. A sunspot is a slightly cooler area of the surface associated with magnetic disturbances within the Sun. The eruptions of gas are called prominences, and they are related to the phenomenon called solar flares.
