3 graphs regarding Maunder Minimum starting 1654

If IF you notice all three graphs line up in the same way. So, in the top graph you can see illustrated the Maunder Minimum and in the bottom graph you see the actual time period of the little Ice AGe. So, the Maunder minimum did not start the ice age, instead it sort came towards the middle to end of it instead. The following might also be helpful in understanding all this better:

Year	Sunspots
1610	9
1620	6
1630	9
1640	0
1650	3
1660	Some sunspots reported by Jan Heweliusz in Machina Coelestis
1670	0
1680	1 huge sunspot observed by Giovanni Domenico Cassini

During the Maunder Minimum enough sunspots were sighted so that 11-year cycles could be extrapolated from the count. The maxima occurred in 1676, 1684, 1695, 1705 and 1716.
The sunspot activity was then concentrated in the southern hemisphere of the Sun, except for the last cycle when the sunspots appeared in the northern hemisphere, too.
According to Spörer's law, at the start of a cycle, spots appear at ever lower latitudes until they average at about latitude 15° at solar maximum. The average then continues to drift lower to about 7° and after that, while spots of the old cycle fade, new cycle spots start appearing again at high latitudes.
The visibility of these spots is also affected by the velocity of the sun's surface rotation at various latitudes:

Solar latitude	Rotation period (days)
0°	24.7
35°	26.7
40°	28.0
75°	33.0

Visibility is somewhat affected by observations being done from the ecliptic. The ecliptic is inclined 7° from the plane of the Sun's equator (latitude 0°).
