The Sun is at a distance of about 150 million kilometers from Earth. It has a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers. Its apparent diameter (as seen from Earth) is about 1/2 of a degree. It is the main source of energy for Earth. It gets its energy from nuclear fusion - converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4. It has about 99.86% of the mass of the entire Solar System.

For more details, consult the Wikipedia article "Sun", or some other online sources.

Does the sun have carbon?

Yes, the sun can be expected to have some carbon. That carbon would have come from the same source as the carbon on the earth. Our sun is not massive enough nor hot enough to nucleosynthesize carbon. That would require a red giant. See http://library.thinkquest.org/17940/texts/nucleosynthesis/nucleosynthesis.html for some more details.

How can sun spots help to detrmine the period of rotation of the sun?

If you have some SAFE way of observing details on the sun, then the time betweenthe appearance of a spot on one edge of the sun until the same spot slides aroundthe opposite edge and disappears is 1/2 the sun's period of rotation at the latitudeof that spot.Features north or south of that spot will rotate faster or slower. The sun is not asolid body, so there's no reason that all of it has to rotate all at the same rate.And it doesn't.
