单词 differential rotation
释义
differential rotation

Physics
  • In a rotating fluid system, the rotation of different parts of the system at different rates. For example, in the sun its equator rotates faster than any other part of it. Differential rotation cannot occur in a solid rotating system, where all the parts of the system have to rotate at the same rate.


Astronomy
  • The rotation of a non-solid body in which different parts turn at different speeds. Stars and planetary atmospheres rotate differentially. For example, the equatorial regions of the Sun rotate about 25% faster than the polar regions, and the rotation of Jupiter is divided into System I (the equatorial region) and System II (the rest of the planet). Disk-like systems such as the rings of Saturn, accretion disks around stars, and disk galaxies also rotate differentially because they are composed of individual parts, each with a separate orbit.
