Sunspots are connected with other solar events like solar flares. A solar fare is a sudden release of energy from the Sun, which shoots hot charged particles (plasma) from the Sun into space. Solarlares can send enormous amounts of energy and charged particles that can interact with the Earth's atmosphere. When the charged parties strike the atmosphere they can cause auroras and magnetic storms that can also disrupt electrical signals and electrical grids. When there are more
sunspots, this indicates that the Sun is more active and there will be more solar fares
It is unclear if there is a link between solar activity and changes in the Earth's climate because our planet's climate is influenced by so many other factors such as volcanoes and greenhouse gases. A period of time known as the Maunder Minimum
occurred from about 1645 until 1715. During this time period there were almost no sunspots. This period occurred at about the same time as a period of cold temperatures known as the Little Ice Age. However, scientists have not been able to
determine if the two phenomena were actually related

a. there may be an unusually high number of electrical disruptions

b. there may have been an unusually low number of disturbances

c. there may have been and usually high number of seasonal changes

d. there may have been an unusually low number of auroras
