Solar activity varying with an 11-year cycle is chaotic at large time scales. The evidence comes from an analysis of observations of the sunspot number and of radioactive carbon. Thereby an estimate of the dimension of the solar attractor can be obtained.

The origin of the sunspots can be associated with the interactions of the regular, large-scale, chaotic, and intermittent magnetic fields.
