Solution

Sunspots come in pairs, representing the north and south magnetic fields. They are not always found close to the Sun's poles and they do not travel over the surface of the Sun from pole to pole. The number of sunspots is not relatively constant every year; it varies according to the solar cycle. The Maunder Minimum was a period of time from 1645 to 1715 when sunspots were rare, not numerous.
