What would happen if sunspots, related to the core heat of the Sun, disappear? Scientists claim that the hibernation of sunspots will affect the climate of the Earth enormously.
The Daily Mail newspaper reported Thursday that sunspots have been inactive over the past four years, which is a sign of the Sun’s hibernation in the years after 2020. This will lead to a decrease in global warming and a mini-Ice Age on the Earth will finally rise.
An absence of sunspots is not an unprecedented situation. It has happened before, but not since the early 18th century. Dr. Frank Hill and his team of the National Solar Observatory predicated the possibility of sunspots’ hibernation by the inactiveness of the Sun’s corona and absence of solar wind.
Dr. Richard Altrock of the Air Force Research Laboratory predicted that it will take a long time to recover once the Sun goes into a quiet condition.
It is known that the Earth’s climate is influenced by sunspots’ activity decline. However, it is not proved specifically. In fact, it is rather said enormous sunspots’ activeness triggers solar wind to occur frequently disturbing satellites.
