The sun is a tangled magnetic mass of multiple poles.
So are they lying in this article about a change in a normal pattern of two poles on the sun to four and this claim is not real? ‘Splain it to me, please.
The sun doesn't rotate as a solid mass meaning that its magnetic fields are constantly shifting, shearing, twisting and breaking. It has a general north south orientation but not at all like we see in the earth.
The solar reversals don't appear to be at all uncommon and happen far more often than the 300,000 year reversals of the earth's magnetic field.
