During a solar maximum, the Sun gives off more heat and is littered with sunspots.
Less heat in a solar minimum is due to a decrease in magnetic waves which travel through deep space.
Over the past year, the Sun has moved into its solar maximum phase, and it could reach its peak in the coming years.
When it does, it will release more solar flares which could prove to be bad for Earth s technology.
