Solar Polar Angle

[xmo1]

Does the sun have (magnetic or otherwise) poles? I've read of the variance of the solar polar angle, but can't find an animation or depiction of it as viewed over time. BTW, forum search removes the word solar from solar polar angle.

Yes, the sun has a rotational axis (with poles), and magnetic poles. Both are closely perpendicular to the plane of the solar system.

Thank you. I found an applet: http://www.jgiesen.de/sunrot/index.html. This displays the sun's rotation along with some information about the solar poles. Still looking.

Is there some question you had in mind, or did you just want to see an animation?
