SOLAR SYSTEM

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. The temperature of a sunspot is still very hot though-around 6, 500 degrees Fahrenheit!

Detailed explanation-2: -The center of each granule is hot material rising from the sun’s interior, while the edges are cooler material sinking downward.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sun spots are the darker, cooler areas that are present on the surface of the Sun in a region called the photosphere. They are the regions where the magnetic field is about a thousand times greater than that of the Earth. The photosphere has a temperature of about Kelvins.

Detailed explanation-4: -However, even though they appear dark, they are still very hot. Sunspots have temperatures around 6, 300 Fahrenheit ( 3, 500 Celsius) while the surrounding surface of the sun has a temperature of about 10, 000 Fahrenheit (5, 500 Celsius). If a sunspot was alone in space, it would glow brightly.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solar measurements reveal that the average surface temperature of the sun is 6000° Celsius and that sunspots are about 1500° Celsius cooler than the area surrounding them (still very hot), and can last anywhere from a few hours to a few months.
