7 Interesting Facts About The Sun

The Rotating Sun

Just like the Earth, the Sun also rotates on its own axis. But the interesting fact is that the Sun’s equator spins much faster than the Sun’s pole! One rotation of the Sun at its equator takes 27 days and at its pole takes 31 days. This is possible because the Sun is made up of gases. If its crust would have been solid like our earth, then this phenomenon would have been impossible.
