This would be due to star-cluterring. A grouping of any where from a dozen to a million stars that formed at he same time from the same cloud of interstellar gas. Stars in clusters are useful to aid our understanding of stellar evolution because, within a given cluster, stars are all roughly the same age and chemical composition and lie at roughly the same distance from Earth.

Sunspots are formed when strong magnetic fields on the Sun's surface suppress convection, causing areas to cool down and appear darker than their surroundings. They typically occur in pairs with opposite magnetic polarities. The number of sunspots varies in an 11-year cycle known as the solar cycle.

Sunspots occur when there is a spot on the sun that is slightly cooler than the rest of the sun. This does not mean that that spot is colder, just a little bit colder than usual. It is still very hot.

Sunspots are created from the sun's magnetism. When the magnetic field moves across it, some areas form raised magnetic spots from the surface, known as sunspots.

Sunspots are formed because regions of the Sun's surface getting cooler, this is caused by magnetic field loops stopping the convection that brings heat to the solar surface.

Because they already have full valance (outer) shells.

What are sun spots and how are they formed?

Sunspots are dark spots visible on the sun that are caused by intense magnetic activity and causes the area where the sunspots are seen to cool the temperature at that area.


Where are sunspots formed?

Surprisingly, almost all sunspots are found in two bands on the Sun, just north and south of the equator. At the start of the cycle, the sunspots appear at latitudes of about 30 degrees, both north and south of the equator. Then, as the cycle continues, more appear at lower latitudes until, at the end of the cycle, most spots appear near the equator.
