During the low point in the sun's 11-year cycle, the (radiative/magnetic/electric/gravitational) field lines up with the poles, resulting in (Fewer/More) sunspots. At the peak of the solar cycle, (more/fewer) sunspots tend to form. During that phase of the solar cycle, intense bursts of radiation cause (Solar flares/Solar eclipses/sunspots). This often occurs with coronal mass ejections, which are (Magnetic projections/Eruptions of huge amounts of plasma) from the sun.
During the low point in the sun's 11-year cycle, the magnetic field lines up with the poles, resulting in fewer sunspots. At the peak of the solar cycle, more sunspots tend to form. During that phase of the solar cycle, intense bursts of radiation cause solar flares. This often occurs with coronal mass ejections, which are eruptions of huge amounts of plasma from the sun.
