Although the area of some sunspot groups declines suddenly after a flare that produces energetic protons, other groups show a delayed or gradual decline, or continue to grow for several days after the flare. The mean area of sunspot groups that produced flares with polar-cap absorption declines gradually and continuously, beginning within a day after the flare.
