What is relation between sun differential rotation and core rotation of earth?
The weird thing about the Sun's rotation - as compared to Earth's rotation - is precisely that it is a differential rotation. That means that at the equator, the Sun rotates faster than near the poles. There is some recent evidence that the inner and outer cores of Earth do indeed spin at different rates and at different rates compared with the rest of the planet.
How long does it take the sun to rotate once?
The Sun has a differential rotation, caused by Coriolis forces. Near the equator, one rotation takes about 25 days; near the poles, one rotation takes about 34 days.
What is unique about how the Sun rotates around its axis?
It is affected by differential rotation. The Sun is not solid and it rotates faster at its equator than at its poles.
What causes day and night on earth earths revolution around the sun or earth's rotation on its axis?
Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. Earth's revolution around the sun causes the seasons.
Sun's period of rotation?
If by "the sun's revolution" you mean it's rotational period (how long it takes the sun to spin around once), you can safely assume about 25 days. (25.38 to be exact) This is a difficult thing to measure as the sun is completely gas and different sections (from the equator to its poles) rotate at different velocities. However, if you mean how long it takes the sun to rotate around the center of the GALAXY, this is measured to be 2.25 to 2.5 x 108 (250 MILLION YEARS!) The velocity at which the Sun travels around the center of the galaxy has been calculated to be 220,000 meters PER SECOND. So combining these two things we estimate that the Sun journeys over 6 BILLION miles for just one rotation! These are big numbers to think about, but it makes you realize how HUGE our galaxy and space is... and there are billions of more galaxies out there!

Does the revolution of the sun causes the sun to appear to set?
The rotation of the earth is what causes the sun to appear to set
What causes sun to set?
Rotation of the Earth, with the sun going out of view.
How long does it take the sun to rotate once?
The Sun has a differential rotation, caused by Coriolis forces. Near the equator, one rotation takes about 25 days; near the poles, one rotation takes about 34 days.
What is unique about how the Sun rotates around its axis?
It is affected by differential rotation. The Sun is not solid and it rotates faster at its equator than at its poles.
What causes day and night on earth earths revolution around the sun or earth's rotation on its axis?
Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. Earth's revolution around the sun causes the seasons.
Why do the sun and moon rise?
The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.
What is the rotation's name where bands move at different speeds?
We call it differential rotation when parts of a body move at different speeds. This is true of the gas giants, and of the sun, too.
How long does it takes for sun to rotate once?
Strangely, the Suns has a differential rotation. At the equator, it takes 25 days for one rotation; near the poles, 34 days.
What is the period of rotation of the sun about its own axis?
Around the equator the Sun rotates once every 24.47 days. However this number changes with latitude, because the Sun experiences what astronomers call differential rotation. This is because the Sun is not solid like the Earth but gaseous. At the poles the rotation period is longer, about 33.5 days.
How Earth's rotation causes shaddow?
The sun is at different point of the earth.
What causes seasonal change on the earth?
the rotation of the earth around the sun
