What happens to the magnetic polarities of the sunspots when a new cycle begin?
The number of sunspots is constantly changing. The Sun's activity level goes through an 11 year cycle; right now, we are at the minimum of the Sun's activity, and the sunspot number is very low. (In 2008, there were almost 300 days when the sunspot number was zero.) The number of sunspots will probably begin climbing fairly soon, and we can expect the next solar maximum to occur in 2012 or 2013. You can see the sunspot number at spaceweather.com.
What season has the most amount of days?
On average, the seasons have the same number of days. The number of days in a year cannot be evenly divided into the 4 seasons, so, each year, one season will have one more day than the other three. But this is not the same season every year, and, on average, the number of days is the same for all seasons.
What ways can an astronomer determine when on 11 year old sunspot cycle ends and another begins?
The sunspots in each cycle are of the opposite magnetic polarity. As the number of spots declines to near zero, we can tell when the new cycle has begun when new spots of the opposite polarity are appearing while no "old cycle" spots appear. This has been a difficult transition; the sunspot number went to zero - and STAYED THERE, for nearly two years. Only since December 2009 can we really say that the Sun is becoming more active. The easiest way to track this is on the Web; visit www.spaceweather.com regularly.
How many sunspots will there be in the year 2016?
WikiAnswers does not do fortunetelling. And there is no way to know how many sunspots there will be in 2016. If the sunspot cycle were to follow its normal course, we would expect the "solar max" to occur in 2012 or 2013, and by 2016 we would be on the downward trend to the next solar minimum. But right now, the Sun is NOT following its normal trend; the solar minimum ought to have occurred in 2007, and we should be well on the way to a solar max - but the Sun is mostly spotless, and has been for almost three years now. We expect the sunspot cycle to kick back up any time now - but we've been expecting this for 18 months. This isn't unheard of; the Sun isn't a watch that keeps perfect time, and every couple of centuries, we experience either a very active sunspot cycle or a very quiet one. Perhaps this is the beginning of a quiet time. So we are unable to predict what the sunspot number will be in 2016. You can watch the daily sunspot numbers at spaceweather.com, or see pictures of the Sun each day at solarcycle24.com. Later Update: The answer above was written in October, 2009, when the Sun was essentially spotless. In mid-December 2009, the Sun's activity level began to SLOWLY rise, and now (May, 2010) there are few completely spotless days. We're probably on track for a 2013 solar max.
How many days are there in each season?
Each season typically lasts about 90 days, although this can vary slightly depending on the year and specific calendar. For instance, winter and summer usually have 90 or 91 days, while spring and autumn can have 92 or 93 days in some years. The exact number of days can be influenced by leap years as well. Overall, the four seasons collectively account for approximately 365 days in a year.
What were the sunspot numbers for the week?
You can see the daily Sunspot numbers at www.spaceweather.com. December 6: 0 December 7: 0 December 8: 0 December 9: 0 The pages for December 10-14 are temporarily throwing an error message, but I believe that they were zero each day. December 15: 0 In fact, there have been more than 250 days this year on which the sunspot number has been zero. This has been an eerily quiet year.
How much sunspots are there on the sun during the peak of the sunspot cycle?
At a minimum, there are no sunspots at all, and the Sun can remain spotless for months at a time. In 2009, for example, there were 260 spotless days. In 2008, there had been 200 spotless days - by September! This last solar minimum lasted for about 18 months longer than is "normal", whatever "normal" is. Since December 2009, the Sun has slowly become more and more active, with at least a few sunspots visible almost every day since then. The Solar Maximum in 2004 was QUITE active; the Sun looked freckled!
How much time passes between two successive sunspot minima?
The average time between two successive sunspot minima is around 11 years, known as a solar cycle. This period is characterized by a decrease and increase in sunspot activity. However, the length of each solar cycle can vary, ranging from around 9 to 14 years.

How often is the sunspot cycle?
About 11 years on average - but there are large variations in the length of individual cycles. Once each sunspot cycle, the magnetic field on the Sun reverts - so the real (underlying) cycle is about 22 years. (It takes two sunspot cycles for the magnetic field to go back to the original position.)

What is the average number of days that the south pole has no sunlight each year?
approximately 180 days
If you have 10 task to complete how many days will it take if you spend five days on each task?
If you spend five days on each of the 10 tasks, it will take a total of 50 days to complete all tasks. This is calculated by multiplying the number of tasks (10) by the number of days spent on each task (5). Therefore, you will need 50 days in total.
The number of sunrises that happen each year is measured in the?
The number of sunrises that happen each year is measured in days, with each day consisting of one sunrise.
How do you write an expression for the number of days in w weeks?
To express the number of days in ( w ) weeks, you can use the formula ( \text{Days} = 7w ). This is because each week consists of 7 days. Therefore, by multiplying the number of weeks ( w ) by 7, you obtain the total number of days.
Did changes in numder of sunspots affect earth in the distant past?
Probably so, and it still does today. We don't know the reason for the connection, but the weather is typically colder during times when the sunspot number is low for long periods. There have been two multi-decade long periods of very low sunspot activity, the Maunder Minimum and the Dalton Minimum. Each is associated with extended periods of unusually cold weather.
