Appears on the Sun as a dark spot its dark because it's relatively cool compared to its surrounding and it's cool because the magnetic fields are so strong that they're suppressing the its flow of heat from burlap the strong magnetic fields which Elite Test 360 creates sunspots the breeding ground for solar storms the challenge is trying to decipher a pattern from when and how many will appear as we watch sunspots over a period of many years we see something very interesting number of sunspots at any given time will wax and wane over a period of about eleven years and since we now know that some spots are associated with strong magnetic fields this tells us that the sun's magnetic fields are likewise going through a cycle the constant churning entwisting inside the Sun creates a powerful dynamo the biggest electrical generator in the solar system the magnetic field lines it produces gets so well under the roughly every years the magnetic poles the Sun reverse after that calmer magnetic activity prevails and .
