Sunspots Seen On The Evening Sunset
Sunspots are being seen during the evening sunset in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on February 11, 2024. Sunspots are phenomena on the sun's photosphere that appear as temporary spots darker than the surrounding areas. They are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by concentrations of magnetic flux that inhibit convection. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
