Daily Sunspot Number Report: Nov-Dec 2020

The document provides daily sunspot number data from the Space Environment Services Center (SESC) for the last 31 days. It includes a chart showing the sunspot number fluctuated between 0 and 84 during this period. The official sunspot number is computed using the Wolf Sunspot Number formula which considers the number of sunspot groups and individual spots, with a scaling factor for viewing conditions. Sunspots are temporary dark spots on the sun's surface caused by intense magnetic activity that inhibits convection.
