Sun varies
cyclically with a period of about 11 years. This is popularly
known as the solar cycle. Sunspots are the manifestations of strong
large-scale magnetic fields of the first demonstrate our effort in understanding this magnetic using Then I shall highlight the from the decay and dispersal of tilted bipolar magnetic regions the solar surface. I shall illustrate that these models are able <span style="\\"font-size:" 12.8px;="" color:="" rgb(0,="" 0,="" 0);="" font-family:="" \\"times="" new="" roman\\";\\"="">to explain some basic features of the solar cycle.
