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 ...

These thus represent a wide ensemble of models—some of them unphysical (for example, because of a decrease in density with increasing pressure). Nevertheless, the inferred ensemble of ...

The amplitude and sense of the inferred differential rotation are similar to what is seen on the Sun. This may be surprising, given the likely high degree of magnetic surface activity on the star ...

“Differential rotation of the inner core was proposed ... in the same locations at different times. They found 121 examples of such earthquakes occurring between 1991 and 2023 in the South ...

Rapid tidal variations change the distribution of water on Earth, which can decrease the planet’s moment of inertia, or the inertia of its rotation. A common example of moment of inertia is a ...

This effect is referred to as differential rotation. So, in the time it takes an inner star to complete one revolution around its galaxy, an outer star might have only finished half a revolution.
