Sidereal rotation refers to the rotation of a celestial body (such as a planet) relative to the fixed stars. On Earth, the sidereal rotation period is about 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds, which is slightly shorter than a solar day due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This rotation period is used in astronomy and space exploration to track the positions of objects in the sky.
No. Earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. Earth's orbit depends on the mass of the sun, not Earth's rotation. Earth's rotation does, however, give the appearance that celestial objects revolve around it.
Unlike Earth and other solid objects, the entire Sun doesn't rotate at the same rate of gas and plasma, different parts of the Sun spin at different rates.

The sun's rotation does not cause gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of attraction between objects with mass, and it is always present regardless of whether an object is rotating or stationary. Rotation affects other aspects of a celestial body's behavior, such as its shape and magnetic field, but not the force of gravity itself.
Rotation on Earth occurs approximately once every 24 hours, which is known as a day. Rotation causes the cycle of day and night as different parts of the Earth face towards or away from the Sun. This rotation is responsible for the movement of celestial objects across the sky.
The Earth rotates around the sun due to the gravitational pull between the two objects. This rotation creates the changing seasons and the cycle of day and night on Earth.
no they arent rotation on the sun
The term rotation refers to the Earth turning on its axis once per day. The term revolution refers to the earth circling the sun once per year.
The rotation rate at the equator of the Sun is approximately 25 days, meaning that it takes about 25 days for the Sun to complete one full rotation at its equator.
The length of a planet's day is time of one rotation relative to the Sun. So of course that definition has no meaning for the Sun itself. But the Sun does rotate, and that rotation can be timed, although as a gaseous body its rotational rate is irregular. Additionally, the Sun's "day," or period of one rotation, is different depending on which viewpoint is used, the Sun's or ours. # The sidereal rotation period, the time for one complete revolution of the points on the Sun's equator from the Sun's point of view, is about 25.38 Earth days. # The synodic rotation period, the time for a point on the Sun to make one rotation as viewed from the moving Earth, is about 27.2753 Earth days.
