Sunspots are dark, cooler areas on the Sun's surface (photosphere). They are seen in the following ways:
* Direct Observation: With proper safety equipment (solar telescopes or solar filters), we can directly observe the Sun and see the sunspots.
* Solar Telescopes: Special telescopes designed for observing the Sun are used by scientists to study sunspots in detail.
* Satellite Images: Satellites like the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) provide constant images of the Sun, showing the evolution of sunspots and other solar activity.
Important Note: Never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection. Doing so can cause severe and permanent eye damage.
