Answer;

Sunspots

Explanation;

  • Sunspots are areas on the surface of the sun that occurs in pairs since each is one side of a loop of the sun's magnetic field which reaches the surface of the sun.
  • Sunspots are cooler and darker than the rest of the Sun's surface and are marked by intense magnetic activity.
  • Sunspot are created by the strong, dense magnetic fields that are generated by circulating plasma which become entangled and surge through the photosphere.
