Default 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

How far? Much of what you and some others have said here is somewhere
between lunacy, unsubstantiated speculation, and uninformed fantasy.
When the real answers can be found and understood by any dedicated
amateur, there's no reason to entertain silly notions that have no basis
in reality.

It's not all that hard to look up. Google is your friend.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_bulge
"The Earth has an equatorial bulge of 42.72 km (26.5 miles) due to its
rotation"

The "flattening ratio" is about 1:300.

Saturn and Jupiter, which spin faster than the Earth does and which are
mostly gas, have much larger flattening ratios: 1:14 and 1:10.

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.
