Sunspot Drawings Photosphere Observed from McMath-Hulbert Observatory |
|
The photosphere of the Sun has a temperature of around 6, 000 degreesK and is the
region in which sunspot activity is located. Sunspots appear dark against the surface
of the sun due to the sunspots lower temperatures. Sunspots are solar active regions
having stron magnectic fields and propensity for erupting in the form of solar flares.
They typically form near the solar equator. This dataset shows drawings done at the
McMath Observatory. |
