Climate Change - Variation in Sun Spot Activity
- huge magnetic storms that show up as dark (cool) areas on the suns surface
- when there are more sunspots, the sun is emitting more energy, hence, the amount of energy incident on the earth increases
- so, one could imagine warmer climate during a sun spot maximum and cooler climate during a minimum.
- what does a sun spot look like?
- sun spot period is about 11 years
