Sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gas in the photosphere because Sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gas in the phot
inna [77]

Answer:

The presence of strong magnetic fields results in the slow convection and also prevents the movement of hot plasma from entering the region

Explanation:

The photosphere refers to the visible surface of the sun, whereas the sunspots are the small dark spots that occur on the surface of the sun. These sunspots are comparatively cooler than the other gases that are present in the photosphere. It is because of the presence of the strong magnetic field, that lowers the surface temperature and reduces the effects of convection process and does not allow the movement of hot plasma into the region.

Due to this obstruction in the release of heat in the sun's surface, the sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gases.

Why is Spanish the official language of 9 of the 13 nations of south America?
xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is - The Spanish established their language when they colonized the territories.

During the period of the great discoveries the Spanish managed to occupy most of what is now South America. They implemented their language, culture, and laws, very often with using force and violence because lots of the native people were not willing to give up on their own culture, language, and way of life. The Spanish managed to prevail, and ruled for long enough that the Spanish language becomes the dominant language in nine South American countries.

tatyana61 [14]
I would venture to say that the country in South America that has the least amount of disposable water would be probably in northern Chile which is a desert ie the Atacama desert which stretches from the Pacific across to the Andes Mts while on the other hand, in southern Chile there is a temperate climate with significant rainfall and considerable disposable water.
