WHAT DOES STARSPOT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Starspot

Starspots are the equivalent of sunspots located on other stars. Spots the size of sunspots are very hard to detect on other stars because they are too small to cause detectable fluctuations in brightness. Observed starspots are in general much larger than those on the Sun: up to about 30% of the stellar surface may be covered, corresponding to starspots 100 times larger than those on the Sun.

Definition of starspot in the English dictionary

The definition of starspot in the dictionary is a dark patch on the surface of a star, similar to a sunspot on our sun but much larger in physical extent.
