Modern Maximum

The Modern Maximum, also called the Solar Modern Maximum, refers to a period of intensifying solar activity during one solar cycle. In essence, the Sun undergoes a cycle every 11 years, and during this cycle, the Sun will generally have a large increase in activity, which is why it is known as the Solar Modern Maximum, which produces higher energy outputs, solar eruptions, and a large number of sunspots. As new reports are released, scientists suggest that the modern solar maximum could be a larger part of Earth's ongoing climate change than what was once thought.
