Although the theory of differential rotation is in satisfactory agreement with helioseismological data for the deep convection zone, there are considerable discrepancies near the solar surface. This disagreement can be eliminated if the anisotropy of turbulent convection is taken into account together with the effects of nonuniformity of the medium, on which the most recent models for differential rotation are based. The model for the differential rotation of the convection envelope is supplemented by computations for the transition layer between nonuniform and rigid-body rotation in the upper layers of the solar radiative zone. These are the first computations of differential rotation for the entire volume of the Sun.
