IIT-Kanpur team developed a new way to predict solar cycles:
The solar cycle describes an approximately 11-year cycle of solar activity driven by the sun’s magnetic field.It is indicated by the frequency and intensity of sunspots visible on the surface.Every 11 years or so, the Sun’s magnetic field completely flips.This means that the Sun’s north and south poles switch places.The solar cycle affects activity on the surface of the Sun, such as sunspots, which are caused by the Sun’s magnetic fields.As the magnetic fields change, so does the amount of activity on the Sun’s surface.It can be tracked by counting the number of sunspots.
