An excellent question. And to be honest, only the equatorial regions take that long; the polar regions rotate more slowly. Since the Sun is plasma rather than a solid, it doesn't all have to move together.
We suspect that the region that the Sun, the planets, and everything else in the solar system are all spinning is that the mass in the original nebula was all falling in from slightly different direction. With every independent atom or molecule free to move under the influence of gravity, it would be extremely unlikely to have no rotational movement at all. It's also worth noting that virtually everything rotates in the same direction; all the planets orbit in the same direction, all but one of the planets spin that way, and thousands or millions of asteroids almost always spin in the same direction.

How long dose it take the sun to revolve?
Not sure if you mean rotate or revolve, but I'll give you both. The sun rotates on it's axis once every 25 days. The sun revolves around the center of the Milky Way galaxy once every 225,000 years, give-or-take.
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.
It takes about how many days for the sun to rotate near its equator?
It takes the Earth exactly 365 days to fully rotate the sun. Witch is the same amount as a whole year.
Does the sun rotate around itself?
The sun rotates on its axis. Because the sun is not solid, different layers rotate at different rates. Measurably, however, there is a layer of the sun that rotates once every 25 earth days. You can read more, below.
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!
How many days does it take the sun to make a complete rotation?
It takes 25 days to rotate at the equator and 36 days to rotate at the poles.
How long does it take for the sun to rotate once?
At the equator: 25 days. Near the poles: 34 days.
How long does the sun rotate?
The sun's rotation period varies depending on the latitude, with the equator taking about 25 days to rotate once, and the poles taking around 35 days.
How long does it take for the sun to rotate near its equator?
About 27 days Since the sun is not solid, it rotates at different rates at different latitudes. One rotation takes 36 days at the poles but only 25 days at the equator.
Which planet needs 25 days to rotate on its axis?
There is no planet that takes 25 days to rotate on its axis. However, the equator of the sun rotates in about 25 days. (Not all of the sun rotates at the same speed, it slows down as it gets closer to the poles. At the poles, the sun rotates in about 36 days, and in the middle it takes about 30 days.)
How long does it take to make the sun rotate around earth?
The Sun does not rotate around the Earth, nor does the Earth rotate around the Sun. The Earth revolves around the Sun each year, and each body rotates about its own axis: once a day for the Earth, once in about 25 days for the Sun.
How long does it take the sun to make a rotation around earth?
The Sun does not rotate around the Earth, nor does the Earth rotate around the Sun. The Earth revolves around the Sun each year, and each body rotates about its own axis: once a day for the Earth, once in about 25 days for the Sun.
How long dose it take the sun to revolve?

How many days does it take to revolve around the sun?
The sun does not revolve around itself. However, it does rotate (equatorial regions) about once every 25 days, and slower at higher latitudes.
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.
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.
It takes about how many days for the sun to rotate near its equator?
It takes the Earth exactly 365 days to fully rotate the sun. Witch is the same amount as a whole year.
