The Sun And Sunspots
The sun and sunspots are being seen in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on March 10, 2024. An interesting aspect of the sun is its sunspots, which are areas where the magnetic field is about 2,500 times stronger than Earth's, much higher than anywhere else on the Sun. Due to the strong magnetic field, the magnetic pressure is increasing while the surrounding atmospheric pressure is decreasing. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
