Sunspots follow a 22-year cycle (return to same polarity), and this
cycle matches droughts on Earth. As the sunspot numbers increase,
oceans become warmer. But isn't the Sun's surface cooler during
these times? How can a cooler solar surface cause the Earth to warm
up? I've never understood this. Does it have to do with the
increased solar magnetic activity that heats the corona?
