Long-Period Oscillations of Sun offer new insights
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Mar 28, 2024 The mystery of the Sun's differential rotation, characterized by varying rotational speeds at different latitudes, has long been a subject of scientific curiosity. At the poles, a rotation cycle is completed in about 34 days, whereas at the equator, it takes approximately 24 days. Despite decades of observation and theoretical models suggesting a minor temperature variation between the solar poles and equator could account for this phenomenon, direct measurement has been elusive due to the Sun's intense ... read more
