What is the average amount of sunspots on the suns surface at one time?
There is no single number that is a good average, because the number of sunspots varies in an 11-year cycle. It also depends on how you count individual spots versus groups of spots. By the usual methods, the sunspot number varies from as few as zero at minimum activity up to as many as 200 in the most active cycles. However, a “typical” solar cycle would produce only around 100 spots on the sun at its peak.
