Does the sun rotate?

Does the sun rotate? At the center of our solar system, it's tempting to think of the sun as unmoving. Yet, it undergoes a complex form of rotation.

"Yet we have been aware that the sun rotates since the 17th century. Like the majority of the solar system's planets, this rotation is counter-clockwise, but as well as being significantly slower than Earth's rotation, the sun's rotation is much more complex."

Okay, the Sun as reported takes about 25-days to complete 1 solar rotation at its equator compared to Earth one day period. Slower yes, but the speed in km/s for the Sun is close to 2 km/s at the solar equator compared to Earth near 0.46 km/s. The Sun takes longer to rotate because it could be larger than Earth too

Rotation of the Sun, albeit in bands, has been apparent ever since the movement of sunspots across the Sun's surface has been observed.
