A point at the Sun's equator takes 25 days to rotate, while points 15° from the Sun's north or south poles take about 34.3 days to complete one spin. This is known as differential rotation and probably is an effect of the gaseous makeup of the sun's outer layers. The Sun's spin, as measured at its equator, is about 7189 km/hr.
Because the Earth is orbiting the Sun, from Earth the rotation appears to take about 28 days, which is the average time for sunspots to make a complete spin.
Since the Sun is not solid, there's no reason that all of it has to rotate all in one
piece, and the fact is that it doesn't. When we look at the Sun's surface, we see
the equator rotating fastest, and the rotation slowing down as we look farther
from the equator and closer to the poles.
As the Sun consists of a plasma and is not solid, it rotates faster at its equator than at its poles.
This behavior is known as differential rotation, and is caused by convection in the Sun and the movement of mass, due to steep temperature gradients from the core outwards. This mass carries a portion of the Sun's counter-clockwise angular momentum, as viewed from the ecliptic north pole, thus redistributing the angular velocity.
The period of this actual rotation is approximately 25.6 days at the equator and 33.5 days at the poles. However, due to our constantly changing vantage point from the Earth as it orbits the Sun, the apparent rotation of the star at its equator is about 28 days.
25 days at the equator; 34 days near the poles.
The sun doesn't rotate around the world. The world rotates (orbits) around the sun and it takes 365days to rotate around the world
how long it takes it to rotate around the sun
it takes 25 earth days
1 year I bet
It takes one day for the Earth to rotate once on its axis. It takes about 365.25 days for the Earth to travel (orbit) once around the Sun.
Europa's rotation takes 3.55 days. Its period is synchronous with its orbit.
The "day" on Mars, the time it takes for one complete rotation, is about 24.62 Earth hours.
It very much depends which planet you mean, as it depends on dozens of factors! Referring to Earth, it takes one day (24 hours) to rotate once around it's own axis.
Year: Going once around the Sun takes 12 of our years, since Ganymede accompanies Jupiter. Day: It takes 7 of our days to orbit Jupiter once; like many moons, its rotation is synchronous, so that is also how long it takes to rotate once around its axis.
it takes ten hours for it to travel around the sun
It Takes One Day for the earth to rotate on its axis.
It takes about 58.6 Earth days.
It takes 23.9345 hours. The axis is tilted by 23.44 degrees.
It takes about 58.6 Earth days to rotate:)
It takes 85 hours 3½ Earth days for Europa to rotate on its axis. It also takes 85 hours for Europa to complete one orbit around Jupiter.
Eris takes approximately 550 Earth years to rotate on its axis.
It takes the sun 25 Earth days to rotate on its axis.
