The sun has \u2018reached solar minimum\u2019 and its surface is ominously calm

This solar slowdown often causes temporary cooling in Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change deniers often hail this cooling as evidence that the heating of our world is about to go into reverse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, this is very unlikely to be true because the sun follows an 11-year cycle, meaning it will simply spring back to life in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, once activity ramps up, the sun will be rocked by an increased number of gigantic \u2018monster\u2019 explosions, Nasa warned last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eruptions from the face of our star are called \u2018prominences\u2019 and cause vast amounts of superhot gas to shoot into space, often forming beautiful loops on the solar surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the solar minimum, the number of flares and sunspots is dramatically reduced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun leaps back from its minimum after roughly 11 years, we\u2019re likely to see more and more ferocious explosions on the sun.
