Due to their common center of mass being on the chromosphere of the Sun, the orbital motion of the Jupiter can transfer its angular momentum (energy) to the Sun and produce tro- pospheric particle tangential force (perpendicular to the center connection line of the Sun and the Jupiter), which breaks the plasma tube on the surface of the Sun and then forms the sunspots. As the orbital motion of the Jupiter is affected by the other planets like the Saturn, the distances be- tween the Jupiter and the Sun has been changed; the orbital motion of the planets like the Jupiter controls the sunspots and forms butterfly diagram. It is Maunder Minimum during the 75 years after 1645. In recent years, the sunspot activities remain quiet, because in this period the Uranus, the Neptune, the Saturn and the Jupiter (in the meantime or many of them) stay at the aphelion position or at the Jupiter conjugate points, which makes the distance between the Sun and the Ju- piter further than a certain
