The surface of the photosphereusually exhibits a few or many darkpatches, of various shapes, knownas sunspots. These vary in sizefrom tiny points, just visible in thetelescope, to great blotches that canbe seen, through smoked glass, with holes in the photosphere, and -formerly believed to be, at least,deep depressions in its surface; but they are now regarded as the topsof vortices, or cyclones, in the solaratmosphere. This atmosphere is un-doubtedly the seat of an active cir-culation, analogous to the wind-system of the earth, and one conse-quence of the circulation is that thecloud layer, or photosphere, rotatesmuch more rapidly near the solarequator than elsewhere : viz.. once inabout twenty-five days, as comparedwith thirty days and upwards inhigh solar latitudes.
