the only difference is the amount of energy (charged particles) going though the poles (aka auroras) The extremely high energies at the solar poles cause its atmosphere to behave the way it does.
This is all human theory, that the heliosphere protects the Earth, etc. NASA is still saying that the Sun reverses magnetic fields every 11 years when their own probe Ulysses proved this theory wrong. The S Pole of Planet X is pointed toward the Sun, and is an intake, not blowing outward like the magnetic N Pole of a magnetic planet. THIS is the cause of the placid no-sunspot surface of the Sun, and it is harmless.
Great stuff. Unfortunate that it has been the only mission towards the sun, but good to know some new useful information such as it not being shaped as a perfect sphere as I had thought.
outstanding, I wonder how long Ulysses could have orbited if it were equiped with solar radiation panels. Seems like someone far smarter than me might have thought of that...
I thought the same thing myself. It appears that the increase of interstellar dust at the poles of the Sun, outside the plane of the solar system, would have chipped away at the solar panels.
More recognition should be given to our brilliant space probes. I read about Giotto, the ESA probe that surveyed Halleys comet, it's amazing what technological ingenuity can achieve in spite of all the physical and financial constraints.
stars and planets are the same entities.

Nice video.

yeah we need more solar missions.

retractable solar panels maybe?
