Annual summery of the solar activity
Diagram for 1898
The diagram shows the sunspot index of the selected year. The red line displays the sunspot index for the northern hemisphere, the blue line the index for the southern hemisphere of the sun. The green line represents the sunspot index for the whole visible solar disc.
Note: The sunspot index cannot discribe the solar activity on the far side of the sun.
