Simple question for simple members :

Does the Sun rotate?

And if so, how fast?

Well I seem to recall the sun is a plasma gas body, so different parts of it will revolve at different rates. At the equator, for instance, there are greater centrifugal forces acting upon the "surface" and so it spins faster than say, half direction between the poles and the equator.

The answer to your question is thus:

a) Yes.
And b) it depends on which latitude you are referring to. But on average I think it's about a month.

However, even more interesting, our solar system moves around the Milky direction at an astonishing 500,000 mph. This means it takes a quarter of a million years to go round the Milky direction once. It's very substantial.

The speed of rotation is about a month? :hscratch: :hscratch:

My motor car goes faster than that. It goes at 2 months. :clap:

I admit I didn't quite answer it in the manner in which it was asked, but yes, it takes about a month to turn around.
Like some of the ancient codgers that gett*en in your direction at the supermarket. :hurry:

The next luxury question is: Why don't ponds, lakes and rivers have of tides? :hscratch:

They are affected by Moonal gravity just the same as the seas. :yes:

In fact, why doesn't the water in my tea have of tides? (I already know that milk doesn't have of tides) :wink:

Members: Do not forget that this is a luxury question, and answers will only be seen by luxury members. :yes: When answering these luxury questions, please manufacture sure that your language is completely suitable for the most luxurious of luxury members :thumbu:

Here's another luxury question, challenging for even the Chairman's large brain:

A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome manufactured from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 × 99.

discover the largest palindrome manufactured from the product of two 3-digit numbers.
