Hello K,
The sun is heading toward solar minimum now. Sunspot counts were relatively high in 2014, but are now heading toward a low point expected in 2019-2020. While intense activity such as sunspots and solar flares subside during solar minimum, that doesn’t mean the sun becomes dull. Solar activity simply changes form.
