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.
When wil lthe next sunspot minimum and sunspot maximum occur after the maximum in 2001and the minimum in 2007?
The last sunspot cycle may have ended in December 2008 (Cycle 23). However, due to lack of sunspot activity, scientist are unsure whether cycle 23 has ended yet, or whether cycle 24 is just starting. A rough guess would place the timing around December 2009 but as with everything, nothing is certain, certainly not the sunspot cycle. (The 11 year cycle is a mean value and cannot be taken as precise). Given the approximate 11-year cycle, and assuming that cycle 24 started in January 2009, then the PEAK of sunspot activity should occur about 5 1/2 years from then, around summer 2014.

The duration of the sunspot cycle is approximately?
Every 11 years. The entire solar magnetic cycle takes about 22 years; twice in this cycle there is a sunspot maximum.
What is a sunspot and the pattern that exists in the number of sunspots that are observed?
A sunspot is a dark area on the Sun's surface that is cooler than surrounding areas, resulting from complex magnetic activity. The number of sunspots on the Sun's surface varies over an 11-year cycle known as the solar cycle. This cycle is characterized by periods of high sunspot activity (solar maximum) and periods of low activity (solar minimum).
What is the name of the duration relating to the rise and fall of the number of sunspots on the Sun?
It is often referred t as The Sunspot Cycle - period of about 11 years.
What is the average sunspot cycle in years?
The average sunspot cycle is approximately 11 years, with periods of high sunspot activity followed by lower activity levels. This cycle is known as the solar cycle or the sunspot cycle.
How many years is the sunspot cycle?
The sunspot cycle is about 11 years in length.
Are you in the high middle or low part of the sunspot cycle?
The Sun is rising close to its high, or peak sunspot cycle.
What occurs in a eleven year cycle?
The cycle of sunspot activity.
What occurs in a eleven-year cycle in space?
The cycle of sunspot activity.
How often does the sunspot cycle repeat itself?
The sunspot cycle typically repeats approximately every 11 years, though the length can vary from about 9 to 14 years. This cycle is characterized by the waxing and waning of sunspot activity on the Sun's surface.

How long is the sunspot cycle?
11 years in average.
What is is the sunspot cycle?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot_cycle The definition for sunspot cycle is "the recurring increase and decrease in the number of sunspots over a period averaging about eleven years."

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.
How does the sunspot cycle seem to influence life on earth?
