The ancient Chinese were among the first to observe and document sunspots as early as the 4th century BCE. They noted these dark spots on the sun's surface, which appear in cycles, indicating the dynamic nature of the sun.
Galileo looked at the sun and observed dark blemishes on its surface (which are now called sunspots). From the movement of these blemishes, he was able to determine that the sun has a rotation period of about one month.
The observation that led Galileo to conclude that the sun rotated was when he looked through his telescope and noticed that their were sunspots on the sun. He later looked through the telescope once again and couldn't see the sunspots.
The ancient culture that kept records of earthquakes as early as 780 BCE is the ancient Chinese culture. They documented earthquakes for centuries in their historical records.
There is a solar phenomenon believed to be affected by an increase in sunspots. Most solar flares are believed to be linked to an increase in sunspots.
Yes, Galileo observed sunspots through his telescope and made detailed observations of craters on the moon. These observations were significant as they supported the heliocentric model of the solar system and contradicted prevailing ideas about the nature of celestial bodies at the time.
The relative temperature of sunspots is lower than the surrounding temperature of the sun's surface. Since we adjust our camera's to the high temperature of the sun the relatively cooler sunspots appear black to us.
Sunspots are dark, cooler spots on the sun caused by the sun's magnetic field. I believe the cycle between highs and lows of sunspot numbers is 11 years.

To a large degree, the ancient Romans borrowed much of Hellenistic culture from the ancient Greeks.
