As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

The Origin of the Sun's Magnetic Field Could Lie Close to Its Surface May 22, 2024 — Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's ...

As the sun geared up to spit a powerful solar flare into space ... They occur in regions of the sun with strong magnetic fields, usually near sunspots and are more frequent during the solar ...

The shockwave that caused the hole in the Earth’s magnetic field is believed to have come from a sunspot known as AR3165, which recently erupted in eight solar flares on December 14. Those ...

These variations influence the Sun's magnetic field, leading to its reversal every 11 years. The solar cycle is crucial for understanding space phenomena, such as solar flares and coronal mass ...

Solar flares are violent outbursts of electromagnetic radiation that shoot from the sun when invisible magnetic field lines at the sun's surface get twisted up until they eventually snap.

such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) — large blasts of plasma and magnetic field. As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match ...
