The Exact Solution of Nonlinear Stress
... As the sun rotates, the convection zone spins faster at the equator than it does at the poles. Beneath the convection zone, the radiation zone spins as a solid mass. The different way that these two zones move causes the sun’s magnetic field to stretch at the equator. As the solar cycle continues. t ...
