Question

The sun rotates ______. (Apex)

Answer 1

Answer:

The sun rotates around its own axis

Explanation:

The sun is the glowing giant star and it rotates around its own axis. The rotational speed of the sun is comparatively very less in comparison to the earth's rotational speed. It is because the sun is not a solid object like the other planets and is comprised of plasma and gases. The sun is divided into several layers and each layer rotates at a different speed around its axis. The interior layers of the sun rotates faster than the exterior layers. The equatorial region of the sun also rotates comparatively at a faster rate taking 24 days, whereas the polar region takes a longer time to complete one rotation around its axis and is about more than 30 days. Thus, the sun takes 27 days on an average to complete one rotation around its axis.

Answer 2

Earth's rotation is the rotation of Planet Eartharound its own axis. Earth rotates eastward, in prograde motion. ... The South Pole is the other point where Earth's axis of rotationintersects its surface, in Antarctica.
