Solar maximum is the regular period of greatest solar activity during the Sun's 11-year solar cycle. During solar maximum, large numbers of sunspots appear, and the solar irradiance output grows by about 0.07%. [2] On average, the solar cycle takes about 11 years to go from one solar maximum to the next, with duration observed varying from 9 to ...

Scientists said the sun is now in its solar maximum, or the peak of its 11-year solar cycle.
In 2024, the sun enters its solar maximum—birds don't know what's about to hit them. Space weather may seriously send their internal compasses into disarray. In 2024, the sun enters its solar ...
The solar luminosity is an estimated 0.07 percent brighter during the mid-cycle solar maximum than the terminal solar minimum. Photospheric magnetism appears to be the primary cause (96%) of 1996–2013 TSI variation. [ 71 ]
While the solar maximum peak passed in October and no total solar eclipses were forecast for next year, 2025 will still be affected by the heightened solar activity of these last few months.
Solar cycle 24 is the most recently completed solar cycle, the 24th since 1755, when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It began in December 2008 with a minimum smoothed sunspot number of 2.2, [ 3 ] [ failed verification ] and ended in December 2019. [ 4 ]
