I believe the cycle begins some time in 2013.
No.
No, they are two different things. A sun spot is a cooler spot on the sun and a hot spot is a violent explosion
Mars follows Earth as the next planet out from the sun.
The sun goes through several phases, including the main sequence phase where it fuses hydrogen into helium, the red giant phase where it expands and cools, and the white dwarf phase where it fades and cools further. Ultimately, the sun will become a planetary nebula before ending as a white dwarf.
sun
No.
No the sun rotates once every 25.05 - 34.3 days depending on latitude. (25.05 at equator and 34.3 at the poles) What you are referring to is the solar cycle. This is a change in the magnetic activity of our sun. During solar maximum (2001 last and 2012 next) sun spot activity and coronal mass ejections greatly increases.
In the words of bekey "As the sun spot activity increases, the Earth tends to warm up. Conversely as sun spot decreases the Earth tends to cool a bit."
A sun spot
The dark spots on the surface of the sun are sunspots. They are caused by intense magnetic activity which stops convection and causes a relatively cool spot.
The darkest part, where the magnetic field is approximately vertical to the sun's surface is called the Umbra.

The dark spots on the surface of the sun are sunspots. They are caused by intense magnetic activity which stops convection and causes a relatively cool spot.
The number of sunspots on the Sun varies over an 11-year solar cycle. During periods of high solar activity, there can be hundreds of sunspots visible on the Sun's surface. The next peak in sunspot activity is expected around 2025-2026.
Sunspots are cooler areas on the sun's surface that appear darker due to intense magnetic activity. These sunspots can vary in size and can last from a few days to a few weeks before disappearing. Sunspots are typically associated with increased solar activity and can impact space weather on Earth.
You are mistaken. The red spot is on Jupiter, not the sun (and it actually is red in color, hence the name).
The dark spot on the sun is called a sunspot. Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the Sun's surface that appear darker than their surrounding areas due to cooler temperatures. They are caused by magnetic activity and are often associated with solar flares and solar storms.
