Scientific paper

The period of rotation of the solar core is calculated on the basis of conservation of angular momentum, energy, and torque flow from the sun, without recourse to the rigidness of the sun, assumed by earlier investigators. The well known 'core concentration' of stars is shown to release rotational power and angular momentum. This, it is suggested, provides the basic driving mechanism to keep the solar core rotating rapidly with a period of half a day to 2 days (as distinct from the surface 25-day rate).
