Question

scientists observe that sunspots near the suns equator travel around the sun faster than sunspots near its poles. what does this evidence of differential rotation tell us about the sun? the sun has a weak magnetic field. the sun is getting hotter. the sun is a ball of gas/plasma. the sun is a solid sphere.

Explanation:

Differential rotation, where different parts of the Sun rotate at different speeds, indicates that the Sun is not a solid. Solids rotate as a single - unit. Since the Sun shows differential rotation, it is a ball of gas/plasma. The rotation speed differences have no direct relation to the Sun's magnetic field strength or its temperature change.

Answer:

The Sun is a ball of gas/plasma.
