Absolutely! It is called 'solar max' because it is the period of maximum activity on the Sun during the approximately 11-year solar cycle. 'Solar min' is when the activity is the lowest and we're just coming out of that period. You can see a nice plot of the current solar cycle here: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov...ar-cycle-progression -Christina
