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 ...

The Sun rotates the fastest at the equator, whereas the rotation rate slows down at higher latitudes and is the slowest as the polar regions. But a nearby Sun-like star V889 Herculis, some 115 light ...

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 ...
