Is it true that the sun is moving slower and has more flares now!
And that is '' on it's last few years ? ''
They say it's going to be way more hotter ( not the climate )
but because of the sun! : O

Yes, its on it's last few [billion] years. The sun hasn't had much flare activity at all, whoever made that claim obviously doesn't do any observations. And if the sun were way hotter, then why is only the midwest U.S. experiencing slightly above average temperatures?

I don't even know what that means, but I'm gonna go with "no."

and has more flares now!

Yes, because we're heading toward the next solar maximum. Sunspot activity varies up and down in roughly 11-year cycles. It's nothing new and is completely normal.

And that is '' on it's last few years ? ''

No. That's ridiculous. The Sun is currently in what we call the main sequence of its life cycle. It has billions of years left.

They say it's going to be way more hotter ( not the climate ) but because of the sun! : O

Who are "they?"

In any case, no.

Uh…never heard of that one before. I'm inclined to say no.

It's to be expected when we approach solar maximum, a phenomena that has occurred for billions of years without the Earth being toasted. In fact, it's been projected by NASA that the next solar maximum will reach its highest point in May of 2013 with "a below-average number of sunspots".

Now where have you heard that? The sun has about five billion years left which, last I checked, is much longer than the average human lifespan.

They say it's going to be way more hotter ( not the climate )

First of all, who is "They"? Second of all, the sun is not getting any hotter any time soon. It will get hotter in a billion years or so as it gets closer to its Red Giant phase, but in time for 2012? Not at all. Unless you happen to be immortal, it will not be of any concern to you.

1) Not sure! I could check sometime? But someone else likely knows.

2) Is it? Cite your source, please?

3) Is it? Cite your source, please?

They = people that tell me these things.

Well 5 billions years is allot haha!
Every 11 years, so it just happens all the time if I see it that way.

Thank you all! <3
