Sunspot Magnetic Fields

Sunspot Magnetic Fields is a solar magnetic field configuration characterized by intense, localized magnetic flux concentrations that inhibit convective energy transport, forming in active regions of the Sun and manifesting as dark, cooler areas on the photosphere known as sunspots.
