The Sun’s differential rotation is controlled by high-latitude baroclinically unstable inertial modes. Science Advances , 2024; 10 (13) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adk5643 Cite This Page : ...

Instead, it experiences a form of rotation called "differential rotation" that sees different layers of the sun moving at different ... cycle - 11 years - on the plot, you can see something ...

But unlike the earth, which has a rotation period of one day, the sun has a differential rotation. That is, all parts of the sun do not have the same period of rotation. The period of rotation ...

But it takes about 25 days for zones near the sun’s equator to finish one rotation and about 30 days for those near the north and south poles. The phenomenon, known as solar differential ...

Instead, they display differential rotation; some layers move at different speeds than others. For example, the sun rotates fastest at its equator, slower at increasing latitudes and slowest at ...

By analysing data from the Observatory, the team extracted the rotation period of these features at various latitudes. This revealed a clear picture of the Sun's differential rotation -- faster at ...

Sunspots and flares are both phenomena driven by the powerful magnetic fields the sun creates through its "differential rotation" (see if you can find a reason to drop that term into your ...

Studies have shown that the rotation rate of the Sun’s convection zone decreases towards higher latitudes: it spins 30 per cent slower near the poles than at the equator. This ‘latitudinal ...

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics have mapped the Sun's differential rotation using 100 years of data from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory. They discovered that the Sun's ...

One of the triumphs of helioseismology is to have mapped the Sun’s rotation as a function of depth and latitude (the solar differential rotation). In addition to the 5-minute oscillations, much longer ...
