Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Maunder minimum refers to a period of low solar activity between 1645 and 1715, during which there were significantly fewer sunspots on the sun. This corresponds to a period when the Earth experienced a "Little Ice Age," but it is not accurate to say that the Earth was in the middle of an ice age during this time. The Maunder minimum also does not relate to changes in the Earth's distance from the sun or changes in the tilt of the Earth's axis.
