Sunspots are not considered to be harmful to humans. This is because humans to do come into contact with sunspots.
Sunspots themselves are not harmful. However, the solar flares and coronal mass ejections associated with increased sunspot activity can lead to disruptions in satellite communications, power grids, and GPS systems on Earth. Radiation from these solar events can also pose a threat to astronauts in space.

What are sunspot maximums and sunspot minimums?
Sunspot maximum and sunspot minimum are the points in time (roughly 6 years apart) when the sun is producing the most, or the least sunspots. In the past this has been measured both by sunspot area and sunspot count and is directly tied to the solar magnetic cycle.
How many years is the sunspot cycle?
The sunspot cycle lasts around 11 years. It is characterized by a period of increasing sunspot activity, followed by a period of decreasing activity.
What is the average sunspot cycle in years?
The average sunspot cycle is approximately 11 years, with periods of high sunspot activity followed by lower activity levels. This cycle is known as the solar cycle or the sunspot cycle.
What is the darkened area of a sunspot called?
The darkened area of a sunspot is called the umbra. It is the central region of a sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest, causing the area to appear darker compared to the surrounding photosphere of the Sun.
How do you use the word sunspot in a sentence?
You should never look directly at the Sun to try to see a sunspot, as they are not as dark as they look in photographs. The magnetic disturbance that causes a sunspot will seldom occur in the same location twice.
What is the largest sunspot?
Prominence Sunspot in 1945

How big is a large sunspot?
A Large Sunspot can be up to about 10,000 miles across.
What is the average sunspot cycle in years?
The average sunspot cycle is approximately 11 years, with periods of high sunspot activity followed by lower activity levels. This cycle is known as the solar cycle or the sunspot cycle.
What is a cooler area on the sun's surface?
An area on the sun that is cooler is called a sunspot.
Can you direct me to a picture of a sunspot?
No
Are you in the high middle or low part of the sunspot cycle?
The Sun is rising close to its high, or peak sunspot cycle.
What was the sunspot classification on July 14 2007?
On July 14, 2007, the Sunspot number was 38. This was late in Solar Cycle 23. You can see the daily sunspot number and interesting astronomical phenomena at spaceweather.com.
What is the center portion of a sunspot called?
The center portion of a sunspot is called the umbra. It is the darkest part of the sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest and the temperature is cooler than the surrounding areas.
What is the darkened area of a sunspot called?
The darkened area of a sunspot is called the umbra. It is the central region of a sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest, causing the area to appear darker compared to the surrounding photosphere of the Sun.
