Active region

In solar physics and observation, an active region is a temporary feature in the Sun's atmosphere characterized by a strong and complex magnetic field. Solar minimum and active region are solar phenomena.

See Solar minimum and Active region

Dalton Minimum

The Dalton Minimum was a period of low sunspot count, representing low solar activity, named after the English meteorologist John Dalton, lasting from about 1790 to 1830 or 1796 to 1820, corresponding to the period solar cycle 4 to solar cycle 7. Solar minimum and Dalton Minimum are solar phenomena.

Homeric Minimum

The Homeric Minimum is a grand solar minimum that took place between 2,800 and 2,550 years Before Present (c. 800–600 BC). Solar minimum and Homeric Minimum are solar phenomena.

List of solar cycles

Solar cycles are nearly periodic 11-year changes in the Sun's activity that are based on the number of sunspots present on the Sun's surface.

See Solar minimum and List of solar cycles

Maunder Minimum

The Maunder Minimum, also known as the "prolonged sunspot minimum", was a period around 1645 to 1715 during which sunspots became exceedingly rare. Solar minimum and Maunder Minimum are solar phenomena.

Medieval Warm Period

The Medieval Warm Period (MWP), also known as the Medieval Climate Optimum or the Medieval Climatic Anomaly, was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region that lasted from to.

Modern Maximum

The Modern Maximum was found by Sami Solanki, Ilya G. Usoskin and colleagues, as the period of unusually high solar activity which began with solar cycle 15 in 1914. Solar minimum and Modern Maximum are solar phenomena.

Nature Geoscience

Nature Geoscience is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Nature Publishing Group.

See Solar minimum and Nature Geoscience

Roman Warm Period

The Roman Warm Period, or Roman Climatic Optimum, was a period of unusually-warm weather in Europe and the North Atlantic that ran from approximately 250 BC to AD 400.

Solar cycle

The solar cycle, also known as the solar magnetic activity cycle, sunspot cycle, or Schwabe cycle, is a nearly periodic 11-year change in the Sun's activity measured in terms of variations in the number of observed sunspots on the Sun's surface.

See Solar minimum and Solar cycle

Solar cycle 24

Solar cycle 24 is the most recently completed solar cycle, the 24th since 1755, when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began.

See Solar minimum and Solar cycle 24

Solar dynamo

The solar dynamo is a physical process that generates the Sun's magnetic field.

See Solar minimum and Solar dynamo

Solar flare

A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. Solar minimum and solar flare are solar phenomena.

See Solar minimum and Solar flare

Solar maximum

Solar maximum is the regular period of greatest solar activity during the Sun's 11-year solar cycle. Solar minimum and solar maximum are solar phenomena.

See Solar minimum and Solar maximum

Spörer Minimum

The Spörer Minimum is a hypothesized 90-year span of low solar activity, from about 1460 until 1550, which was identified and named by John A. Eddy in a landmark 1976 paper published in Science titled "The Maunder Minimum". Solar minimum and Spörer Minimum are solar phenomena.

See Solar minimum and Spörer Minimum

Sun

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.

See Solar minimum and Sun

Sunspot

Sunspots are temporary spots on the Sun's surface that are darker than the surrounding area. Solar minimum and Sunspot are solar phenomena.

See Solar minimum and Sunspot
