Angular Momentum
Painius Always found the Sun rotation slow but very interesting Such as
at the equator its time of rotation is 25 Earth days,and at its poles its 34 Earth days A 9 day difference.Hmmm How much of a bulge at the equator? How much more gravity at the poles? Also interesting stars that6 spin very fast. I relate that with an ice skater having very long arms Bert |

You can't see any equatorial bulge on the Sun, BEERTbrain! lmao!
I've seen the image at the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope at Kitt Peak. It's about 33 inches across and looks perfectly circular. The Sun rotates too slowly to have a noticable bulge. It takes very sophisticated equipment to measure any differences. There is a telescope on Mt. Lemmon north of Tucson which does exactly that. You continue to surmise about things which are already well known.

Cactus saul I know the Suns equatorial bulge is small I just wanted to
know how small. Just as easily if you said not measurable. Why be so uptight? bend a little. Best Saul you keep in mind if the image of the Earth was only 33 inches across it also would look perfectly round but we know its not You are hard to figure at times. Bert |

Read my reply again you old fart! lmao!
I told you it IS measurable by special equipment on a telescope. I also implied that it was NOT visible even in a 33-inch image of the Sun. That is a PRIME FOCUS image which is the largest available in any telescope. Jupiter is very oblate even in a small telescope in comparison as woofie mentioned here.

Cactus saul Glad you mentioned Old Fart so I would know your post was
for me. Sun image 33 inches is big enough. However I only asked since the Sun is gas and spinning how much is it out of round. Forgive me for asking you difficult questions I should know better. I would look it up in Google but I can not do that Bert |

Get a REAL computer, BEERTbrain! lmao!
Then you can spend all your time on Google instead of in here.
