It varies, individual suspots can last anything from a day or so, up to 100 days or so.

Is the shape of a sunspot cycle wavy?

Yes, the shape of a sunspot cycle can be described as somewhat wavy. Sunspot activity follows an approximately 11-year cycle with peaks and valleys in sunspot numbers over time, reflecting the Sun's magnetic activity. This cycle is not perfectly regular due to various factors influencing the Sun's behavior.


Would the entire sun appear black if it were the same temperature as the sunspot?

No, the entire sun would not appear black if it were the same temperature as a sunspot. Sunspots appear darker because they are cooler regions on the sun's surface, not because of their temperature alone. The sun would still emit light across other wavelengths, making it visible even at the temperature of a sunspot.


How long does it take sun to disappear once bottom edge meets horizon at sunset?

It typically takes about 2 to 5 minutes for the Sun to fully disappear below the horizon once its bottom edge touches the horizon during sunset. This can vary depending on atmospheric conditions and your location.


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.


What is the character of the sunspot cycle?

The sunspot cycle is an approximately 11-year periodic variation in sunspot number on the Sun. It is characterized by a rise in sunspot activity leading to a peak, followed by a decline in activity to a minimum, and then the cycle repeats. Sunspots are dark regions on the Sun's surface caused by its magnetic field, and the cycle is linked to changes in solar activity and space weather.

How long does it take a sunspot to rotate around the sun approximately?

25 d 9 h 7 min 13 s, to do a full rotation, from east (when disappear of view) to west when is visible from earth again is about 2 weeks (aprox) (if sunspot is small it probably disappear in that time)


How long does it take this sunspot to move one-quarter of the distance around the sun?

6.25days 2hours 1minute 3seconds


How many years is the period of the sunspot?

Individual sunspots can appear and disappear in a single day, or even in just a few hours. On the other hand, some sunspots that disappear as the Sun spins will re-appear 15 days later when the spot becomes visible again. The "sunspot cycle" is typically about 11 years long from peak to peak, but the pattern isn't especially constant. Some cycles take as little as 8 to 9 years, while some stretch out for 15-17 years.


What is a cooler area on the sun's surface?

In what layer of the Sun's atmosphere do sunspot occur?

They occur on the photosphere of the Sun.


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.


Are you in the high middle or low part of the sunspot cycle?
