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 : ...

The sun experiences something called differential rotation. This means that its rotation proceeds at different rates depending on where you look at the star. "Since the sun is a ball of gas/plasma ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our grasp of how stars rotate is "insufficient," with implications on our ability to understand the causes of phenomena on the sun like solar ... what physicists call "differential rotation." ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abu Dhabi, September 20, 2018: Sun-like stars rotate up to two and ... which suggest that stars like these should not be able to sustain differential rotation of this magnitude," said Othman ...

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 ...
