What other elements? What makes it a "better" explanation than the one I offered?

Michael seems to insist that sunspots are literally dark, and that only neon emits light, so he rejects anything that would indicate otherwise.

I reject HALF an answer that doen't address the flare patterns, the flow patterns or the fact these close from the outside in. Until you address this stuff, I'm not going to be impresed. I did that with my model. You did not.

*In my opinion* he doesn't understand the concept of "blackbody temperature."

You are WRONG. I simply do NOT believe it applies to THIS specific observation. If you believe otherwise answer the other questions I have put to you and quit hiding behind a vague answer.

A number of references have been provided on sunspot physics and the effect of the sun's magnetic field, but he rejects that as well. For what it is worth, yours is one of the more detailed answers. Nicely done.

The sunspot is NOT caused by "black body radiation", nor is the light from the penumbral filaments. That is A possible explanation but you have utterly failed to prove it's the RIGHT explanation because you REFUSE to show how it matches observation. Evidently it's much easier to insult me instead.
