Here's a little more about sunspots:
* Cooler than the surrounding area: They appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding photosphere, even though they are still incredibly hot (around 7,500 degrees Fahrenheit).
* Magnetic activity: Sunspots are caused by intense magnetic fields that disrupt the normal flow of energy from the sun's interior to the surface.
* Cycles: They follow a cycle of about 11 years, where the number of sunspots fluctuates from a minimum to a maximum.
