Astronomers have inferred that the Sun rotates by observing the motion of sunspots across its surface. This phenomenon, known as differential rotation, causes different parts of the Sun to move at different speeds, indicating that the Sun rotates. Additionally, observations of the Doppler shifts in the light emitted by different regions of the Sun also provide evidence of its rotation.
