The sun's differential rotation pattern has puzzled scientists for decades: While the poles rotate with a period of approximately 34 days, mid-latitudes rotate faster and the equatorial region ...

As the team reports today in the journal Science Advances, the long-period solar oscillations discovered by MPS scientists in 2021 play a crucial role in controlling the Sun’s rotational pattern.

Until now, the sun has been the only star for which it has been possible to extract a rotational profile, given the distance of other stars. In their study, however, Tuomi and colleagues were able ...

SINCE the introduction of the Doppler-Fizeau principle one of its most interesting and. important applications has been to the determination of the velocity of the sun's rotation by the ...

The period of rotation near its equator is 26.5 days, at sun spot zone (16 degrees north) it is 27.3 days, and at the pole it is 31.1 days. The Sun’s enormous core temperature of 15 million ...

With regard to your specific question, the orbital period does not always decrease each time a comet approaches the Sun, but can increase, decrease, or stay the same depending on the details of ...

Modeling Earth-Moon system and Sun changes (example, Faint Young Sun) to fit such evolutionary changes for Gyr periods - remains hard and tough, starting with the proto-earth rotation period, ...

Early in the planet's history, Earth's rotation may have even been shorter than 10 hours, Konstantin Batygin, a professor of planetary science at Caltech, told Live Science in an email.This speedy ...

Earth is bidding farewell to a tiny asteroid that joined its orbit for nearly two months. The asteroid, known as 2024 PT5, is set to be drawn away from Earth by the powerful pull of the sun on Monday.

At its equator it rotates every 32 hours, which is quite a bit faster than our sun. At the poles, the rotation is quite a bit slower, with an overlapping occurring about every 150 days.

Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun, takes approximately 84 Earth years to orbit the sun. ... which allowed for a more precise calculation of Uranus's rotation period.

The interior of the Sun does not rotate at the same rate at all latitudes. The physical origin of this differential rotation is not fully understood. It turns out, long-period solar oscillations ...
