The Sun is made up of plasma (a gas so hot that its protons, neutrons, and electrons can't stay together). Since nothing is bound together the inside of the Sun is free to rotate faster than the outside.
Answer2: The rotation of the sun is due to charges impingin on the sun (electrons) This occurs in the presence of the sun's magnetic field thus Lorentz force F= evxB causing rotation, see the homopolar motor effect ( the kind of motor used to measure electric power in homes). At different levels the vector product of vxB is different, vBsin(vB). At the equator of the sun, the angle is likely to be 90 degrees the largest rotation.

∙ 13y agoBecause the Sun is simply a giant ball of gas, different parts of the Sun will rotate at different speeds.

How do mars and earth hours compare?
Because those two planets rotate on their axis at about the same speed.
Why don't all parts of the sun rotate at the same speed?
It's not a solid. It's made of hot gases.
How far do stars rotate in a month if viewd at same the time?
If you look at the stars at the same clock-time every night, the whole picture will appear to rotate 1 degree per day, 30 degrees per month.

How many miles per hour does the North Pole rotate?
The North Pole does not rotate because It stays in the same spot.
Why the ocean do not rotate and earth rotate?
The ocean and the earth do rotate. At the same speed, once every 24 hrs.
Why does the moon not rotate as does the earth?
The moon does rotate on its axis as the earth does. The earth rotates once in a day and the moon rotates once in a month ( for those who want to quibble, it's a little more than 27 days ). ADD---the moon rotate at the same speed of the earth, that why we always see the same side of the moon which give the impresion that the moon doesnt rotate but it does!
Why do all parts of the sun rotate at the same speed?
because the gravety is the same and it carrys all the mass from from the sun and is is so used to rataing with the sun it makes all the parts of the sun at the same past of speed. In fact, because it's gaseous, the Sun doesn't all rotate at the same speed.
Do all parts of the sun rotate at the same speed?
No. See related question
Do smaller wheels go faster?
No, they just rotate at more revolutions that a larger wheel at the same speed.
How do mars and earth hours compare?
Because those two planets rotate on their axis at about the same speed.
What is the name of electric motor in which both rotor and stator fields rotate with same speed?
only synchronous motor
Why don't all parts of the sun rotate at the same speed?
It's not a solid. It's made of hot gases.

How do tire pressure monitors work?
when all tires are inflated properly, they each rotate at the same speed. there are sensors that monitor wheel speed and when one loses air pressure, it rotates at a slower speed at with the sensor then senses and sends that signal to the computer
Do all places on the earth have the same average speed?
Assuming the question is asking about the Earth's rotation, it depends upon how you measure speed. If you measure angular velocity, then yes, every point on earth rotates at the same speed. If you measure linear velocity, then no, points near the equator rotate faster than points near the poles. Still in linear velocity, points at higher altitude rotate slightly faster then points at the bottom of the deep ocean.
What is the difference between differential lock and interaxle differential lock?
Differential lock is a driver controlled locking mechanism which locks the speed differentiation of axle halfshafts in differential mechanisms.After locking, both wheels rotate in same speed.But the interaxle differential(IAD) lockstopsthe speed differentiation of two axles in Tandem axle vehicles by locking the inter axle differential(third differential),after locking IAD both pinions rotate in same speed.
