No. recently. In recent years astronomers have observed magnetic vortices on the sun that have been informally dubbed "solar tornadoes" but they are not actual tornadoes and are driven by different mechanisms from tornadoes on Earth.

Does the sun have tornadoes?
Enormous vortices have been observed on the sun that resemble tornadoes. They have been called "solar tornadoes" but they are not tornadoes by the meteorological definition.
Does Sun have tornadoes?
Enormous vortices have been observed on the sun that resemble tornadoes. They have been called "solar tornadoes" but they are not tornadoes by the meteorological definition.
Can tornadoes occur on the sun?
It has recently been found that there are vortices on the sun that superficially resemble tornadoes, but they are not true tornadoes.
How the sun cause tornadoes?
The energy for all weather events on Earth, including tornadoes, ultimately comes from the sun.
Could tornadoes happen on the sun?
No. There are enormous, magnetically-driven vortices of plasma on the sun that have been compared to tornadoes. However, these are not true tornadoes as they operate on entirely different mechanics.
Do most tornadoes occur in the afternoon or morning?
Tornadoes develop from the large thunderstorms that most often happen in the late afternoon and early evening, after the days heating by the sun. However, tornadoes can happen at any time of day or night.
How does solar energy affect tornadoes?
The energy that powers tornadoes ultimately comes from the sun. The sun heats the earth's surface which in turn heats the lower atmosphere. This heat can lead to thunderstorms, which, under the right conditions, can produce tornadoes.
Where and when do tornadoes occor?
tornadoes can occur anytime and any where
How is tornadoes constructive?
Tornadoes are not constructive in any way.
Is a solar tornado real?
There are vortices on the sun that resemble tornadoes and have been referred to as tornadoes, yes. However, they are not true tornadoes and they operate by entirely different mechanisms.
Do tornadoes cast a shadow?
Not usually. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, so unless the sun is at a certain angle, then clouds between the tornado and the sun prevent it from casting a shadow.
Are there any tornadoes?
Yes, There are hundreds of tornadoes every year.
