Yes, except that because the sun is gaseous, the time taken at different latitudes is different.
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.
Yes, the sun rotates faster at its equator than at higher latitudes. This is known as differential rotation, where different parts of the sun rotate at different speeds. It takes about 25 days for the sun to complete one rotation near its equator, while it takes longer at higher latitudes.
If Earth did not rotate, the celestial poles would align with the geographic poles, and the celestial equator would align with Earth's equator. The celestial poles are points in the sky that the Earth's axis points towards, and the celestial equator is an imaginary line in the sky directly above the Earth's equator. Without Earth's rotation, these references would be fixed in the sky.
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.
The moon doens't rotate (from earth's perspetive). We always see the same side of the moon.
It takes 25 days to rotate at the equator and 36 days to rotate at the poles.
The sun appears to make a complete trip around the equator every 24 hours.

Since the Sun is gas, different portions rotate at different rates. The gasses at the equator rotate once in about 25.6 days. At 60-degrees latitude, the gasses rotate in about 30.9 days. Polar regions rotate about once every 36 days. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/sun/rotation.shtml
The planets revolve around the sun. The planets rotate on their own axis.
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.
Yes, the sun rotates faster at its equator than at higher latitudes. This is known as differential rotation, where different parts of the sun rotate at different speeds. It takes about 25 days for the sun to complete one rotation near its equator, while it takes longer at higher latitudes.
No, the Sun's equator rotates faster than its poles. This is known as differential rotation, where different latitudes rotate at different speeds. The equator takes around 25 days to complete one rotation, while the poles take around 35 days.
The poles of Jupiter rotate faster the the equator because of a bulge there caused by gases (which aren't as solidy held together as rocky planets). Since the Great Red Spot is closer to the poles, it spins slower than the equator.
