Stellar mechanics
The outer layers of Sol have whats known as "differential rotation". The equator of the surface rotates once every 25.4 standard days; but near the poles it rotates once every 36 standard days.
Sol loses almost 4 million tons of mass every second by turning hydrogen gas into energy. That adds up to almost 345 billion tons per standard day,
