    Explanation:
    • Statement 1 is incorrect: Sunspots are areas that appear dark on the surface of the Sun. They appear dark because they are cooler than other parts of the Sun’s surface. 
    • Statement 2 is correct: Sunspots originate deep within the Sun and become visible when they pop out. Sunspots occur in pairs, with a leader and a follower. 
    • Statement 3 is correct: In the period between 1645 and 1715, sun spot activity had come to a halt on the Sun, a phenomenon referred to as the Maunder minimum. This coincided with extremely cold weather globally. So sunspots may have a relevance to climate on earth.
