Details:
Sunspot AR3590 is about the size of 10 Earths side by side.
I imaged the close-up of the Large Sunspot AR3590 on 02-25-24 from my observatory.
The equatorial circumference of Earth is 24,901 miles (40,075 km). However, from the North Pole to the South Pole, the so-called meridional circumference is smaller, at 24,860 miles (40,008 km)
So 24,901.00 miles X 10 = about 249,010.00 miles long.
This is a HUGE sunspot on the surface of the Sun right now. A sunspot is an area of cooler temperature than its surroundings that is generally caused by very strong magnetic fields from the interior well up through the surface. They can be the place of strong eruptions of charged particles, solar flares, or coronal mass ejections. The Sun is near the peak of its 11-year cycle of such activity. This spot is so large that it can be seen without magnification through solar glasses.
Kind Regards To All 🙂
