Does the sun rotate?

The sun does rotate, but the parts of the sun don't rotate at the same rate. This happens because the sun is composed of gas.

The sun's poles take about 36 days to rotate around its axis, which is tilted by 7.25 degrees. The equator's rotation takes about 26 days, while the 60-degree latitudes take about 31 days to rotate. These values indicate the synodic rotation of the sun. This is the time it takes for a person standing on Earth to see a fixed object, such as a sunspot or flare, return to the same place on the sun.
