What is a sunspot on the sun?

Sunspots: One interesting aspect of the Sun is its sunspots. Sunspots are areas where the magnetic field is about 2,500 times stronger than Earth’s, much higher than anywhere else on the Sun. Because of the strong magnetic field, the magnetic pressure increases while the surrounding atmospheric pressure decreases.

What is the surface of the sun like?

Does the Sun have a surface?

Intolerance to food Food intolerance is a very common cause of bad odor flatulence. Typical conditions that can cause smelly flatulence include lactose and gluten intolerances.
