'Solar polar reversal is a normal phenomenon that occurs every 11 years,' scientist Daniel Billett told Newsweek. 'It's actually when the sun is most active.'
The sun's magnetic poles are about to disappear as they swap polarities, which may lead to a number of geomagnetic storms hitting Earth in their wake.The sun's magnetic poles swap positions every 11 years or so as the sun approaches its most active period , with the sun having no magnetic poles and a messy, chaotic magnetic field during the interim. The amount of time that the sun is left with no poles varies from solar cycle to solar cycle.
It's essentially a cyclical process of a build-up of and release of energy. The sun's magnetic field threads through the visible surface of the sun and at its densest can result in the appearance of dark regions called sunspots. At solar maximum, there are many sunspots; at solar minimum, there are few or none at all.
