The Sun rotates differentially, i.e. the solar rotation rate varies with both latitude and radius. The differential rotation is particularly prominent in the convection zone where equatorial zones rotate almost 30% faster than near-polar regions. There are also strong variations of the rotation rate with radius near the surface and at the bottom of the convection zone (rotational shear layers). I...
