DIAGRAM OF SUN

S u n p o t s Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the sun. They appear visibly as dark spots. Sun spots are caused my intense magnetic activity. Sun spots appear in pairs and have the opposite magnetic poles. They have a high temperature and the temperature increases because of the colour.

sun spots These are some sun spots taken by students.
