What is unusual about the magnetic field in a sunspot?
The magnetic field in a sunspot is stronger than the surrounding areas on the Sun's surface. It is also highly concentrated and can cause a suppression of convection, leading to cooler temperatures in the sunspot region. This can manifest as a darker area compared to its surroundings due to the reduced energy output.
How can sunspot affect earth?
Some scientist believe that sunspot activity may have an effect on the Earth's weather. Sunspots seem to occur in cycles of 11 years. Research has shown that major periods of drought have occurred roughly every 22 years, or two sunspot cycles. We have yet to discover the exact relationship between the two.
What is the center portion of a sunspot called?
The center portion of a sunspot is called the umbra. It is the darkest part of the sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest and the temperature is cooler than the surrounding areas.
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 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 darkened area of a sunspot called?
The darkened area of a sunspot is called the umbra. It is the central region of a sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest, causing the area to appear darker compared to the surrounding photosphere of the Sun.
This is the halo that surrounds the darkened area of a sunspot?
penumbra.
This is the halo that surrounds the darkened area of a sunspot.?
penumbra.
What is the darkened area of a sunspot is a .?
A sun spot
The darkened area of a sunspot is a?
The darkened area of a sunspot is a region of cooler temperatures on the Sun's surface, known as the umbra. Sunspots are caused by intense magnetic activity that inhibits convection, leading to lower temperatures in these areas compared to the surrounding photosphere.
What is a cooler area on the sun's surface?
An area on the sun that is cooler is called a sunspot.
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.
What is a cool dark area in the surface of the sun?
