I sorted my database by the number of sunspots. Out of the top 29 months with sunspot averages ranging from 253.8 down to 183.3 all of them showed Jupiter being 5.3 AU or greater except for 2. They had 5.08 and 5.23. Jupiter’s perihelion is approximately 5.4565155. This is out of 3,110 records. That is a lot of coincidence. I’m trying to imagine how this strong correlation could exist along with the other the other correlations and coincidences and there not be a connection between the Sun and Jupiter.
Hornblower—I’m not suggesting that I have any explanation for the physics of the phenomenon, just the very strong correlation. And yes, I agree the correlation is not causation. However, a very strong correlation does not rule out a connection to causation.
Alan—Thanks
