![]() ![]() False The helium produced from the fusion of hydrogen has less mass than the hydrogen that goes into its formation. Surprisingly, the photosphere is also much cooler than the atmosphere above it, which has regions with temperatures as hot as 2 million C (3.5 million F). The intensity of these AR3296 flares is increasing and SpaceWeather reports that an X-class flare is possible from AR3296 before the weekend. true or false: sunspots appear dark because they are hotter than the surrounding gas of the photosphere. The rogue sunspot flared again during the morning of Tuesday, May 9, with this being its fourth M-class, or medium-sized, flare in around just 36 hours. This rule-breaking sunspot is set to travel around the limb of the sun and away from Earth by the weekend, ending its bombardment of our planet. Sunspots are dark regions visible in the outer layer (photosphere) of the Sun, that are cooler than. This view of the Suns surface from May 5, 2023, shows the magnetic polarity of. Now, in addition to the solar granules, we see a Sunspot. This makes reverse polarity sunspots more likely to explode and create CME outbursts and solar flares just like AR3296 is currently doing. Sunspot AR3296s magnetic field is reversed from that, with its leading edge negative and its trailing edge positive. While they tend to be the same size as normal polarity sunspots and last for the same amount of time, reverse polarity sunspots are twice as likely to be the site of complex magnetic fields in which positive and negative poles are mixed. Such reverse polarity sunspots are fairly uncommon studies have found that only around 3% of these cool patches break Hale's Law. The reverse polarity sunspot AR3296 can be found as a small blue spot above the center of the sun's disk in the image. A magnetogram (a representation of the variations in strength of the sun's magnetic field) produced by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory on May 7. ![]()
