During periods of reduced solar activity, such as during the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715), a significant decrease in sunspots was observed, correlating with cooler temperatures on Earth. This phenomenon contributed to what is known as the Little Ice Age, where lower solar radiation likely influenced climate patterns, leading to harsher winters and shorter growing seasons. The relationship between sunspots and climate is complex, involving both direct solar output and indirect effects on atmospheric circulation. However, sunspots alone are not the sole drivers of long-term climate change; other factors such as greenhouse gas concentrations also play crucial roles.

Why is Saturn colder than Earth?
Mercury is colder then Earth (at night) when its facing away from the sun, mercury doesnt have an atmosphere to keep the heat in so once it faces away from the sun the heat from the sun cant get to the dark side of mercury, therefore its cold at the dark side of mercury.
What properties makes mars colder than earth?
Properties have no executive function, they are observed features. One property of Mars is that it is cold compared to Earth, which is due to its greater distance from the Sun, which warms the planets.
What would the result be if the distance of the earth to the sun were more than 149million km?
If the Earth were farther from the Sun, then it would be colder on Earth. Also, the years would be longer.
Why is mars hotter than earth because earth is closer to the sun?
It isn't Earth is closer to the sun, therefore Earth is hotter. Martian surface temperatures vary from lows of about -87 °C during the polar winters to highs of up to -5 °C in summers. The wide range in temperatures is due to the thin atmosphere which cannot store much solar heat, the low atmospheric pressure, and the inability of Martian soil to store heat. The planet is also 1.52 times as far from the sun as Earth, resulting in just 43 percent of the amount of sunlight.
Which planet has a climate most like earth's?
Mars has a climate most like Earth's, but it is much colder due to its distance from the Sun and thin atmosphere. Venus has a similar average temperature to Earth, but its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere creates a runaway greenhouse effect, making it inhospitable for life.
Are sun spots hotter or colder than adjacent parts of the sun?
Sun spots are colder than adjacent parts of the sun.
Are the red spots on the sun colder or hoter?
since blue fire is colder than red fire i would think red spots in the sun are colder than the normal yellow
Is planet uranus hotter or colder thn planet earth and why?
It's colder - due to it being much further away from the Sun than we are.
Are sun spots hotter or colder then the rest of the sun?
They are cooler than the average surface temperature of the Sun.
How the earths tilted axis influences your climate?
Because of the tilt of the earth, the sun hits different spots of the planet, at different times. When the northern hemisphere is tilted words the sun, the US will have summer, because the area is closer to the sun. The climate will change, get hotter, colder, dryer, wetter, etc, because of the season, and the season changes due to the tilt of the earth. Do you understang?
Why do sun spots look darker than the rest of the sun's photosphere?
Sunspots are about 1200 Kelvin colder than the surroundings.
Which planets are colder than the earth?
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Mars are planets that are colder than Earth due to factors such as their distance from the Sun, lack of a thick atmosphere, and different composition.
Why are days colder in winter?
Winter is caused by the earths relation to the sun. In winter the earth is tilted away from the sun cause less/weaker rays from reaching the earth. With less energy from the sun the weather is colder.
Why do you have a season?
Because the Earth revolves around the sun. The further we are from the sun, the colder it gets.
What might sun spots affect on earth?
tides
Why does the sun have spots?
It happens due to magnetic activity.
What happen to the earth if the radius of sun becomes half?
Earth will be a little colder on parts
