Answer 1

Sunspots are best described as "storms on the Sun’s surface." They are cooler, darker areas on the Sun that are associated with magnetic activity. These spots occur where the magnetic field is particularly strong, inhibiting convection and leading to lower temperatures compared to the surrounding areas of the Sun's surface. Sunspots can vary in size and number and are a key component of solar activity cycles.
