The Sun with some sunspots visible.

Solar cycle 14 was the fourteenth solar cycle since 1755, when recording of solar sunspot activity began.[1][2] The solar cycle lasted 11.5 years, beginning in February 1902 and ending in August 1913. The maximum smoothed sunspot number (monthly number of sunspots averaged over a twelve month period) observed during the solar cycle was 64.2, and the minimum was 1.5.[3] There were a total of approximately 1019 days with no sunspots during this cycle.[4][5][6]
