Answer 1:
Sunspots on the actual sun are areas that
are colder than the parts of the sun around
them. Since they are colder, they aren't as
bright since brightness is related to temperature.
Sunspots on people's skin are dark patches because
they were out in the sun too long. The reason
these spots are dark on people's skin has nothing
to do with temperature, it has more to do with how
the skin reacts to sunlight. Although, the sun
can get sunspots and people can get sunspots, they
are completely different. They just happen to
have the same name. Click Here to return to the search form.
