Some astronomers believe the Earth is likely to enter the 'little ice age' in the coming years due to reduced solar activity.
Sunspot activity, with an annual cycle 11 will peak in 2013, after which the activity will begin shrink little by little.But some astronomers believe the next activity will be less intensive than usual or will be no activity at all.
This can affect the weather on Earth because of low solar activity is related to low global temperatures in the past.
Between 1645 and 1715 almost no sunspots were observed, a period known as the solar Maunder Minimum.
