The sun is a very complicated object and although observations of faculae, sunspots, differential solar rotation, helmet streamers, coronal mass ejections, solar cycles, etc. have been made for many years, it is extremely difficult for us to understand these features because we do not have sufficient information e.g. local lateral boundary conditions to analytically describe or numerically model the individual objects such as a sunspot.
