How often does the cycle of maximum and minimum activity repeat on the sun?

The cycle of maximum and minimum solar activity, known as the solar cycle, typically repeats approximately every 11 years. During this cycle, the sun undergoes periods of increased sunspot activity (solar maximum) and decreased activity (solar minimum). The duration can vary slightly, ranging from about 9 to 14 years. This cycle influences solar phenomena, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
