Minimum sunspot counts..[edit]

Why is there a date and count for sunspot maximums but only a count and no DATES for minimums any of the solar cycles???? 207.195.86.25 (talk) 21:09, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because the minimum is usually 0, and (to take this article as an example) there were a total of 272 days with no sunspots - that's 3/4 of a year, and not worth reporting. The minimum value given is the min when the cycle started, not the minimum over the entire cycle. Primefac (talk) 21:19, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
