The Sun Is In The Midst Of A Less Active “Grand Solar Minimum”

While many countries are still suffering from the outbreak of COVID-19 on Earth, the sun is on lockdown of its own for two consecutive years. The star at the center of the solar system, the Sun, is in the midst of the end of a solar cycle called ‘Solar Minimum’. This cycle regularly happens during an 11-year interval with periods of higher and lower activity. Which means more solar flares and sunspots or few solar flares and sunspots.
