Galileo was the first to discover and announce the sunspot to
the world. There are many sunspots on the Sun, more or less. Their width can
range from 100 kilometres to several thousand kilometres. If a few large
sunspots can contain several Earths, then it is possible to imagine learning
some of their evolution.
It has been found that these sunspot areas have very high
magnetic fields. These sunspots also rotate when the Sun rotates on itself. The
sunspots in the central parts of the Sun rotate faster than those in the
high-altitude regions.
Scientists have calculated that the sunspots rotate around
the sun's centre every 25 days and the Polar Regions every 34 days.
Sunspots do not remain stationary in one place. Similarly, the number of
sunspots changes from time to time. Sometimes there are very few sunspots,
which is called solar minimum, and sometimes there are very many sunspots,
which is called solar maximum.
This solar maximum and minimum can occur over a specific
period. Generally, a solar eclipse cycle occurs every 11 years. The
difference between this solar maximum and solar minimum, which alternates every
11 years, is still an unexplained mystery. Solar flares occur near a sunspot.
Scientists have said that the peak of the sun and solar flares will occur in
July 2025.
The US government's National Weather Service Agency says that
the peak of sunspots will be about 115 sunspots. Since solar flares occur near
a sunspot, it is speculated that the sunspot may be related to it. When a solar
flare increases, harmful high-energy radiation is emitted in large quantities.
Due to this, the ionosphere in the outer regions of the Earth
is affected. Due to this, a kind of noise occurs in radio interference areas.
High-energy radiation is emitted in large quantities, causing high currents in
the atmosphere.
This can damage power lines and telephone wires. Sunspots
cause significant changes in the Earth's seasons. During solar maximums,
winters are very cold and summers are very hot, resulting in more rain and
storms. It is said that during solar minimums, winters and summers are normal.
Statistics show that not only heart attacks and ruptured
blood vessels but also various health problems increase with the number of
sunspots. It is still a matter of wonder how the movements of these sunspots,
which are about 150 million kilometres away, affect the Earth's climate.
Problems that may arise due to the increase in solar maximum
and solar flare.
Satellite services, GPS, radio and telecommunication services
are expected to be affected. Since radio refers to high-frequency and
low-frequency communications, radio services may be affected more. There is a
possibility of problems in systems such as power plants and railway tracks.
The increase in the level of electromagnetic waves will
affect power plants, which will also affect electricity production. It is
believed that flights that can cross the North Pole will be disrupted.
Scientists generally believe that all modern systems such as communication,
satellites, aviation, and electrical systems will be affected. Many ongoing
studies are underway on this.
To protect against health problems.
Astronauts in space need protection because they are the ones
who will be most affected by radiation. Similarly, those travelling in aeroplanes
also need appropriate protection.
It is important to protect people's health during the period
of July 2025 because the impact of radiation is high and they should avoid
being outdoors for a long time. It is not good to be in places where the body
is exposed to too much sunlight.
Generally, people on Earth are protected by the atmosphere, so there are no major effects, but there is a possibility of minor problems like headaches and fatigue. It is important to protect your skin and eyes as solar radiation increases.
