Hi guys. Awhile back I studied an interesting hypothesis about Sunspot cycles. The 11 and 22 year cycle sync'd with the orbital periods of Jupiter and Saturn. In turn those deflected asteriods into the Sun which causes Sunspots to appear, rather like craters on a star...Sun craters. Anyone else ever study that? Regards Ken S. Tucker Do you understand the relationship between magnetic fields and Sunspots, Ken? |

Tucker Well, the the periods of sunspot activity are not exactly the same, and if there was a causal relationship they would remain in sync. As it is the sunspot cycle goes through about 10 semi-cycles in the same time as Jupiter orbits 9 times. The sunspot cycle is tied to the cycle of the reversal of the Sun's magnetic field, which we can independently measure. That is a function of the Sun as a whole. I believe that it would be possibly for a comet to hit the "surface" of the Sun if it was very well aimed. That could cause local effects. Nobody really know what triggers sunspots to appear in one place and not another. Clearly some of it is local weather conditions; they appear in clusters. There is no reason that the elements dumped into the upper levels of the Sun by a comet impact couldn't help seed sunspot creation, but equally no reason to believe it to be true. No impact has ever been observed. |

Meteor Infall pf Sun compared to Ear(th)... Sun dia ~ 100x Ear Sun area ~ 10^4 Ear Sun mass ~ 3x10^5 Ear Meteor impact rate, mass x area, Sun impacts ~ 3 x 10^9 Ear Going to kinetic energy,(ve=escape velocity), (for math-physics guys), Sun Ve = 55 x Ear Sun Ve^2 = 3 x 10^3 Ear Energy infall Sun = 10^13 Ear and of interest is Energy infall / area Sun = 10^9 Ear, (10^9 = billion), What about the comet that hit the Sun yesterday? Seemed to affect the whole Sun. Ken PS: Please correct figures if error occurs...thanks |

But regardless of the number, you need to convert to actual energy units to make any kind of meaningful point. What about the comet that hit the Sun yesterday? Seemed to affect the whole Sun. Not really. There is zero evidence of causality between the comet and the CME, and no theoretical basis for such. The scientific community is nearly unanimous in recognizing the occasional near timing of comet "impacts" and CMEs or other activity as purely coincidental. There is a nice, technical analysis supporting this at http://sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil/index....ws/comets_cmes |

So you think that objects with mass are just big vacuum cleaners sucking things in? You need to familiarize yourself with where Kepler took Newton's laws! So I ask again: how to do come up with the conclusion that impact rate is equal to or proportional to mass times area? Objects _orbit_ Sun; they rarely fall into it. This applies to the comets observed "hitting" the Sun, as well as any asteroids (which haven't been observed). They are not in orbits that intersect the surface of the Sun, but rather, orbits that take them sufficiently close that they vaporize. |

It depends on the form of proof the reader would like. Ken |

Ah proportions indeed ! "That the fixed stars being at rest,the periodic times of the five primary planets, and (whether of the sun about the earth, or) of the earth about the sun, are in the sesquiplicate proportion of their mean distances from the sun." Newton Kepler's flawed approach is easily understandable and nothing like that mess above - "And so if any one take the period, say, of the Earth, which is 1 year, and the period of Saturn, which is 30 years, and extract the cube roots of this ratio and then square the ensuing ratio by squaring the cube roots, he will have as his numerical products the most just ratio of the distances of the Earth and Saturn from the sun. 1 For the cube root of 1 is 1, and the square of it is 1; and the cube root of 30 is greater than 3, and therefore the square of it is greater than 9. And Saturn, at its mean distance from the sun, is slightly higher than nine times the mean distance of the Earth from the sun." Kepler or in its original form - "The proportion existing between the periodic times of any two planets is exactly the sesquiplicate proportion of the mean distances of the orbits, or as generally given,the squares of the periodic times are proportional to the cubes of the mean distances." Kepler None of this matters at the moment and it can be dealt with when genuine people take the issues seriously but from a point of view of confidence and respect for the historical and technical details and not the distortion and manipulation of them. The only proportion you all have to consider is how to rework the 1461 rotations into 1461 days or 4 orbital circumferences back into planetary dynamics and 365 1/4 rotations for 1 orbital period of the Earth.It is extremely infuriating to deal with people who have no intention of adapting to something so easy to grasp and Newton';;s ideology is built around the utterly stupid 366 1/4 rotations per circuit via the Ra/Dec ideology taken too far. Is there a single competent individual who wants to truly earn their doctorates for a change ?. |

Via the shock wave transmission from the impact energy. Recall that one may be in a long elliptical room and a whisper at one focus can be heard at the other focus. Depends on the medium, but the shock wave through the Sun refocuses at specific locations, as it is a sphere. Ken |
