Does the sun rotate every 27 days?
Different parts of the Sun rotate at different speeds, which is how we know that the Sun isn't a solid. The equatorial regions of the Sun rotate in about 27 days, but the polar regions take a little longer; about 33 days.
Why are the magnetic field lines on the sun distorted?
Different latitudes of the sun rotate at different speeds. This tends to twist and bend the magnetic field lines.
Why do astronomers say the sun rotates every 27 to 31 days rather than give an exact number?
The sun is not a solid object and different parts of it rotate at different speeds.
Do all surface layers of the sun rotate at the same rate?
no they dont
Why planets orbit the sun in different speeds?
it is different because the size.
How do astronomers know the sun's surface rotates at different speeds?
Sunspots rotate at different speeds.
Is the sun turning?
The sun does rotate on its axis, but not exactly the way the Earth does, because the sun is made of gas, and different sections of it rotate at different speeds.
How much do the sun rotate?
Because the Sun is not solid, different parts rotate at different speeds. Near the equator of the Sun, it rotates once in about 26 days, while the polar regions rotate in about 33 days.
Does the sun rotate every 27 days?
Different parts of the Sun rotate at different speeds, which is how we know that the Sun isn't a solid. The equatorial regions of the Sun rotate in about 27 days, but the polar regions take a little longer; about 33 days.
How many hours the sun half to turn?
the sun does not rotate on one single axis, it has several different axises that spin at different speeds.
Does the sun have a revolution?
Yes. The Sun rotates every 25.5 days at the equator. Because the Sun is not solid, various regions rotate at different speeds. The polar regions rotate every 36 days, and in-between latitudes spin at in-between speeds.
Why are the magnetic field lines on the sun distorted?
Different latitudes of the sun rotate at different speeds. This tends to twist and bend the magnetic field lines.

The sun is not a solid object and different parts of it rotate at different speeds.
In how many days does the sun to rotate around its poles?
Since the sun is not a solid body, different latitude zones on it rotate at different rates,so the answer is a range of rotation periods.The range is between 25 and 36 days, for different latitudes on the sun's surface.
Do the planets rotate around the sun?
Yes, all of the planets rotate around the sun, in the same direction but at different speeds and time periods. well planets rotate on their own axis, the correct term would be revolve. The planets revolve around the sun
Do all surface layers of the sun rotate at the same rate?
no they dont
How many hours does the sun rotate on its access?
Because the Sun is not solid, but is instead a giant ball of gas and plasma, different parts of the Sun spin at different rates. We can tell how quickly the surface of the Sun is rotating by observing the motion of structures, such as sunspots, on the Sun's visible surface. The regions of the Sun near its equator rotate once every 25 days. The Sun's rotation rate decreases with increasing latitude, so that its rotation rate is slowest near its poles. At its poles the Sun rotates once every 36 days!
