Sunspots are regions of intense magnetic activity, and they are associated with strong magnetic fields that inhibit the normal flow of heat from the solar interior to the surface. The magnetic fields in and around sunspots are complex, often forming loops and arches. The interaction between these magnetic fields and the convective motions in the Sun's interior contributes to the formation and evolution of sunspots.
