Changing Sunlight – Sun Movement and Spin

Watts Up With That? [Unofficial] February 23, 2026

The motion of the Sun is uniquely different to the movement of the planets.  The Sun tracks an erratic path while experiencing a two to one range in its orbital velocity.  The plasma of the Sun imbues the ability to oblate under centrifugal acceleration from axial spin.  This ability is shared with the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn which spin at even higher equatorial velocity than the Sun.
