The sun completes one full rotation at its equator in how many days?
Correct answer: C. 25 days
- A. 365 days
- B. 30 days
- C. 25 days
- D. 23 days
Explanation
The Sun rotates differentially, taking about 25 days to rotate once at its equator. Its rotation is slower near the poles, so 25 days is the equatorial value rather than the 365-day orbital period.

About Astronomy and Space
Astronomy covers the structure and motions of the solar system, planets, satellites, comets, asteroids and meteoroids, together with gravity, eclipses, seasons and phases of the Moon. It also introduces stars, galaxies, nebulae, black holes, space telescopes and satellites, while distinguishing rotation from revolution and meteors from meteorites.
