Questions

For this project, we must come up with a few questions to lead our research, and boy, do I have plenty. I notced that I use all this terminology, but I don't really know what it means, or understand it. Therefore, some background information and terminology of the sun may be useful. This led me to the following questions for this research:

• What is a sunspot? What causes it?
• What is and causes a solar flare?
• What is a solar storm?
• What is a solar minimum/maximum?
• What causes color variation in the sun (some days it appears red, other days it looks more orange and yellow)?
• How do sunspots affect Earth? Is there an effect?
• How will the solar mazimum effect Earth?
• Do solar flares/storms have an effect on Earth?
• What causes the Northern Lights? Is it sun related?
• What is coronal mass?
• What is the relationship between sunspots and temperature of the sun?
• How does the sun relate to Earth's magneticc field?

These are the gist of the questions, and I honestly feel so unaware of the sun and these answeres.
Looks like I have a lot of work to do...These questions, I'm sure, will be answered in due time, hopefully in the paper.
