- The sun has a Sun Spot Cycle of 11 years. Sun spots are dark spots on the surface of the sun. Sunspot activity increases and decreases on on this 11-year cycle and the next cycle is expected to occur by late 2011 reaching it's peak in activity in 2012. Sunspots have intense magnetic fields which are associated with magnetic storms on earth. Radio reception on earth is also affected by the sun spot cycle.

This transition happens at the peak of every 11-year sunspot cycle -- like clockwork.
