Exploring Sunspots and the Solar Cycle
Sunspots are cooler, darker regions on the solar atmosphere with strong magnetic fields. They are mainly seen on the photosphere, which is the visible surface of the Sun. These dark spots are cooler than their surroundings, with temperatures around 4,000 K. Sunspots are formed due to the Sun's magne
