Regularities of the differential rotation of the solar plasma
Abstract
A brief review of solar differential rotation studies is presented. A composite table of average properties of solar rotation indicating the constancy of angular velocity with height (except nonmagnetized photospheric plasma) and the decrease of the differentiality of rotation from the photosphere to the corona is provided. The maximum of the equatorial rate of solar rotation in the epoch of the solar cycle minimum is established.
