EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Sunspots are areas that appear dark on the surface of the Sun. They appear dark because they are cooler than other parts of the Sun’s surface. Solar flares are a sudden explosion of energy caused by tangling, crossing or reorganizing of magnetic field lines near sunspots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sunspots are cooler parts of the Sun’s surface caused by massive changes in the Sun’s magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sunspots are regions on the Sun’s photosphere that appear darker than the surrounding areas on the visible solar disk due to reduced surface temperature associated with concentrations of magnetic field flux and intense magnetic activity on the Sun. They usually appear in pairs of opposite magnetic polarity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sunspots are phenomena on the Sun’s photosphere that appear as temporary spots that are darker than the surrounding areas.

Detailed explanation-5: -The part of the Sun commonly called its surface is the photosphere. The word photosphere means “light sphere” – which is apt because this is the layer that emits the most visible light.
