Astronomy Fun Fact:

The sun does not rotate as a solid object. Its polar regions complete a rotation more slowly than does its equator. The equatorial regions (latitude = 0 degrees) rotate in about 25.6 days. The regions at 60 degrees latitude rotate in about 30.9 days. Polar regions rotate in about 36 days.
