The Sun, unlike the planets, is a massive sphere of hydrogen gas. As a result, different parts of the Sun rotate at different rates. Tracking the movement of sunspots across the surface allows you to see how fast the surface rotates. It takes 25 days for regions near the equator to complete one rotation, while features near the poles can take 36 days. And it appears that the inside of the Sun takes about 27 days.
