They are colder - by about 1200 degrees Celsius - than the rest of the Sun.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They are darker because they are relatively cooler than the surrounding area. They are cooler because where a sunspot happens tightly bunched together magnetic field lines poke out of the surface of the Sun. This region of intense magnetic activity, inhibits convection motion and thus less heat is welling up from the Sun's interior.

Where do visible sunspots lie on the Sun?
3000 - 4500 degrees Kelvin
What does a sun spot look like?
Sunspots are regions on the solar surface that appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding photosphere, typically by about 1500 K (thus, they are still at a temperature of about 4500 K, but this is cool compared to the rest of the photosphere). They are only dark in a relative sense; a sunspot removed from the bright background of the Sun would glow quite brightly. Some sunspots are as large as 50,000 miles across, and they move across the surface of the sun, contracting and expanding as they go. The sun has a magnetic field that is twisted around inside the Sun as it spins. There are places on the sun where this magnetic field rises up from below the sun's surface and pokes through, creating sunspots. Sunspots are magnetic and often have a north and south pole like a magnet. They come and go over the surface of the Sun and last from a few days to a few weeks. The period of time between maximum outbreaks of sunspots is about 9 to 14 years, with an average of 11 years. A link can be found below.

Might makes right - Equality for all - In God we trust - From many one - could be the slogan of fascist governments?
Might makes right seems like a slogan for a fascist government. The rest are current or former US slogans.
Are sunspots on the sun cool?
They are not cool. The sunspots are not has hot as the rest of the surface, but they are still extremely hot.
Why do sunspots look darker than the rest of the sun's photosphere?
Because just like in a fire Sunspots a cooler than the rest of the surface, and as in a fire the cooler spots appear darker.
Dark marks on the sun?
Dark marks on the sun are known as sunspots. They are areas of cooler temperature on the sun's surface caused by strong magnetic activity. Sunspots can vary in size and shape and play a role in the sun's 11-year solar cycle.
Why do sunspots appear?
Sunspots appear because of the magnetic fields, they appear black because they're slightly cooler than the surface of the rest of star.
Why do sunspots appear darker?
Because the sunspots are cooler spots on the sun. They are much different from the rest of the sun so the appear really dark.
Are sunspots cooler or hotter on the suns surface?
Yes because there is a storm going on that causes it to cool.
What are dark areas on the surface of the sun?
Dark areas on the surface of the sun are called sunspots. They appear darker because they are cooler areas compared to their surroundings due to strong magnetic activity. Sunspots are temporary phenomena that can last from days to weeks.
Sunspots are a part of the sun why do they look darker?
Sunspots look darker because they are cooler than the rest of the sun.
Why does sunspot appear black when observed on earth?
Sunspots are actually the colder regions on the sun's surface, due to which comparatively less radiations are emitted by these regions than the rest of the surface of the sun. That is why they appear to be black.
What is an area in a star that is cooler than the rest called?
Sunspots
What makes your boyfriend different from the rest of them?
Your presence.
How would sunspots appear if you could magically remove them from the Sun?
If you could magically remove sunspots from the Sun, the affected areas would appear as brighter regions compared to the surrounding photosphere. The removal of sunspots would result in a more uniform and smooth surface, reducing the contrast between the sunspot regions and the rest of the Sun.
