I have a sunspot 3D model project due in a week and every website I’ve consulted has been written in high-level astronomy language BS that no college freshman could possibly decipher. I propose you get to work on a textbook immediately. Much obliged.

One question, how come the field lines at the initial state (lines are not distorted) don’t make sunspots at the poles. At the poles the magnetic lines are exiting and entering, at least initially.
Thanks
