Taking your question as referring to the Sun, its rotation is inferred by measuring the velocity of sunspots on the Sun's surface. Or of other features such as prominences.

The Sun's equator has a velocity of about 7 000km/h.

At the equator the rotation period is about 28 days.

At 16o latitude, the rotation period is about 25.4 days.

At the poles, the rotation period is about 34.4 days.
