activity solar
Describe three or four different types of solar activity, and explain why it is that sunspots generally appear?
Also, explain why the sunspot cycle is sometimes referred to as the solar activity cycle.
Solar maximum is the term for the maximum in solar activity that takes place approximately every eleven years; solar minimum is the lowest point of solar activity. The last solar maximum was in 2001.
Solar events can interact and interfere with each other, creating a very complex system. Their frequency varies with time. The smaller flares tend to follow the eleven year cycle and peak at several tens of flares per day. The largest flares usually occur only a few times during solar maximum. Sunspots increase with solar maximum, and are relatively rare during solar quiet times. Coronal holes do not last as long during solar maximum.

wo different ways to measure when a solar year has passed?
Suppose you live in a temperate climate, where most days are sunny.
You have no clocks.
Describe two different ways to measure when a solar year has passed.
Help!
Are you in Prof. Glymour’s class at CMU? I’m asking because we got that exact question as a hw assignment last week. One of my ways was to see what other star rises simultaneously (more or less) with the sun on the first day and then wait until the sun rises with that same star again. That period will be a year.
Here’s a website with some useful information.

solar window film review
The thrill of being a home owner is difficult to explain until it has been experienced firsthand. The sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from owning a home is a feeling unto its own. One of the first things that homeowners often immediately do after moving into their home is personalize it with their own furniture and wall art. Even before all their boxes from moving day are unpacked, new homeowners are contemplating furnishing and home improvement projects that they would like to undertake.
For many, home improvement means building a swimming pool in the backyard, including a gazebo, or adding additional rooms to the home. For others, turning a house into a home may mean undergoing a massive outdoor landscaping project or perhaps even remodeling the kitchen. Often, focusing on such large undertakings can overshadow other smaller yet equally important projects that help to make everyday life a richer

Solar storm in 2012?
NASA says the next solar storm cycle will peak in 2012. Great. 2012 is the year the Mayan calendar expires and many people say 12.21.2012 is the date of Earth’s annihilation. I’m usually not one to believe, or buy into predictions and “doomsday” prophecies, but this is a little coincidental, don’t you think?
I’ve heard many things about this date, but mostly, the scenario that a giant solar storm will hit the Earth, which such intensity that it will cause Earth’s poles to shift/reverse, causing it to begin rotating in the opposite direction.
Could someone with some astronomy knowledge tell me; is this possible? Could the Earth’s poles be reversed by a gigantic solar storm?
people have been saying the world is going to end since forever. Mainstream astronomers disagree with the earth poles shifting and flooding the world killing everyone.
