About this resource...

This project concerns activity happening millions of miles away, on the sun. Sunspots are cooler, dark regions of the sun where the magnetic fields are disturbed. They are signs to an active sun. They can disrupt commutations on Earth when there is a solar maximum, or many sunspots and activity on the sun. A solar maximum is apart of the 11 year sunspot cycle. At the beginning of the cycle there are few sunspots, solar minimum, then gradeually more appear, solar maximum, then it returns back to a solar minimum.I have an interest in the sun, so I chose to perform this project. The is to discover the rotation rate of the sun and if there is a daily change in the number of sunspots. The other s were to find the duration of sunspots, and if there are changes in the sizes of spots.
