No, sunspot activity increases and decreases. Scientists have observed that the level of sunspot activity follows a cycle of about 11 years (11 years from maximum to maximum and 11 years from minimum to minimum).

What can you conclude from your observation from sunspots?

Yes. This is called sunspot extrapolation. For the past 400 years, scientists have been observing the sunspot populations. They have found a variety of qualitative (non-numerical) and quantitative (numerical) data and have concluded that the number of sunspots peaks and falls at a cycle of approximately 11 years.


Is it true Different isotopes for the same element will always have the same numbers of neutrons?

Yes. it is true. Isotopes of the same element always have different number of neutrons.


What is mass number of an isotope?

The mass number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, and this always determines the element in the Periodic Table. Different isotopes of the same element have differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, but always the same number of protons.


Are the atomic number and proton numbers always the same?

yes.


Solar flares may be seen in the sun's what?

Solar flares, sunspots and prominences are features of the sun that have some effects on Earth: 1. Sunspots- Dark areas around the surface of the sun that are cooler than surrounding areas. They appear and disappear over a period of time. The period from minimum to maximum number of appearances of sunspots is the sunspot cycle, which occurs every 11 years. Sunspots are believed to have effects on Earth's weather and climate. Low temperatures in some countries and drought in other countries were observed during a period when very few sunspots appeared on the sun's surface. 2. Prominences- Arches of gas that rise from the sun's surface and flow back to it caused by magnetic fields of sunspots. Some prominences are in the forms of loops, curtains, or funnels. Solar prominences may last for many hours and can extend millions of kilometers above the surface of the sun. 3. Solar flares- Violent eruptions that are suddenly released and are caused by magnetic energy stored in the corona. Ultraviolet light and X rays from solar flares cause disruption of radio signals, making communication by radio and telephone difficult. Magnetic storms occur on Earth when electrically charged particles from the corona and solar flares ae added to the solar wind produced by the corona. When this happens, Earth's atmosphere radites beautiful lights called aurora borealis or northern lights. This same light is called the aurora australis in the southern hemisphere.

Are the same numbers of sunspots always present on the sun?

Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the surface of the Sun. The number vary over time, but there is a "trend" towards a greater number appearing every eleven years. However, this "trend" seems to be "disturbed" as the "11 year" cycle is very late.___________________________You can see today's (well, yesterday's) sunspot numbers each day at www.spaceweather.com, or click the link below.


What can you conclude from your observations of sunspots?

Sunspots are temporary dark spots on the sun's surface caused by magnetic activity. Observations of sunspots help track the sun's 11-year solar cycle and provide insight into the sun's magnetic field and its effects on space weather. Changes in the number and size of sunspots can also affect Earth's climate and communication systems.


Why are sunspots formed?

This would be due to star-cluterring. A grouping of any where from a dozen to a million stars that formed at he same time from the same cloud of interstellar gas. Stars in clusters are useful to aid our understanding of stellar evolution because, within a given cluster, stars are all roughly the same age and chemical composition and lie at roughly the same distance from Earth.


Are sunspots the same size?

No. Some sunspots are fairly small, compared to the size of the Sun, while some can get pretty big. Sunspots grow, and merge, and a "medium" sized sunspot covers an area larger than the Earth. You can see the daily sunspot number on the web at www.spaceweather.com.


Do figures with the same volume always have the same surface area?

figures with the same volume does not have the same surface area.


How does a number of sun spots change over time on the sun?

The number of sunspots on the sun varies in an 11-year cycle known as the solar cycle. During the cycle, the number of sunspots increases, peaks, and then decreases. This cycle is driven by the sun's magnetic activity.


What is the suns wheather?

The sun does not have "weather" in the same way Earth does. The sun experiences phenomena like solar flares and sunspots, but these are not considered weather.

What do protons have to do with atomic number?

The atomic number is the same as the number of protons, ALWAYS.
