Literature: The rotation of the Sun
... Because the amount of the Doppler shift in the solar spectrum is proportional to the Sun's rotational velocity, we can determine the rotation period of the Sun by measur ing this shift. This can, in principle, be done at any latitude, but the shift becomes smaller and harder to detect at very high ...
