Astronomers find that light emitted by a particular element at one edge of the Sun has a slightly higher frequency than light from that element at the opposite edge. What do these measurements tell us about the Sun's motion? |

Perhaps the side that has a lower frequency is moving away from us, and the side that has a higher frequency is moving away from us, and the frequency difference is due to doppler effect. However, that may not mean that the entire sun is spinning, because the sun has a fluid surface. If it is really due to doppler effect, then we could only tell that the surface is spinning. |
