@xniquilador You've posted that on numerous comments. It does show your limited comprehension skills, and inability to form singular arguments.

@xniquilador Ah. I was just assuming that you were making a slight grammatical error, my bad. That's what happens when one assumes, I guess.

Assume= (Ass)of(U)and(Me)

@cobolt13 I was referring to the grammar pertaining the quantitative subject-verb agreement: (What is a(re) sunspot(s)?); Ignorant.

@andyyroxx Thanks for the information, I knew that though. I was referring to the grammar pertaining the quantitative subject-verb agreement (What is a(re) sunspot(s)??). I do appreciate your comment.

@dmh497 The Sun is a star because of its mass and the energy it produces; its mass falls under the category of of star mass. Also, the definition of a star is that it "creates its own light", therefore once again categorizing it as a star.

I had no idea about the faking though. that's a real punch to the face.

@xniquilador A Sun Spot is a magnetic field on the chromosphere of the Sun that is at a lower temperature than the other parts of the Sun. it appears to be darker, but is still bright. It is an existing word.

[cobolt13]

@xniquilador As should you. Cretin.

What is sunspots?? That sounds retarded. The scriptwriter should go to school.

@pbmdh No bull, the math doesn't lie. Due to the extreme density of the core of our sun, photons are constantly absorbed/coliding and re-emitted by matter within the star, and it takes a very long time for the heat and light to exit our star. If it did stop, it would take a very long time for the energy released in the core to work its way out and we would continue to see a steady release of energy, once that ran out, our sun would suddenly begin to go dark as the plasma cooled.

@doowop62 The suns surface IS turbulant...just look at solar flares. These aren't edited, they filter out enough light to see the surface details. Others record the spectrums of light, infrared or ultraviolt, x-ray and gamma ray. I am a backyard astronomer with a 10 inch telescope. Even in natural light (with a polarized filter) through the eyepice I can see the rolling edges of a sunspot. My H-alpha filter (again no digital editing, right through the eyepice) reveals stunning surface details.
