    Why are there no sunspots, where did they go?

    Hi Ronald,

    Sunspots are BACK! The Sun has become active again! Solar activity varies on an 11 year cycle..and for the past couple of years, we've had a very unusual period of very low solar activity with no sunsports...

    All sunspots come and go in time..but during the solar minimum, there are fewer and often none. Now, as activity is increasing, more spots will appear..

    Paulett.
