Does the sun rotate? I dont mind asking stupid questions? :)

Do all stars rotate. All stars are made of the same stuff i would guess.

And that’s a complete guess :)

Yes, but you’ve got to remember it’s a big ball of gas. So different latitudinal regions rotate at different speeds. And the interior rotates at different speeds than the outer layers. It’s just a big messy ball of hot churning gas, very different from a solid rotating ball.

Just about everything in space rotates to at least a little. The sun’s rotation is differential; it takes 24 days at the equator and 33 days at the poles. The sun itself, and all stars, are made of about 75% hydrogen and 25% helium, the main elements of the universe. The earth and everything else we know are mostly just trace heavy elements, created by the explosion of some star 5 billion years ago.
