The sun does not rotate at its poles.

1 answer

The correct statement is: The sun rotates faster at its equator.

The Sun exhibits differential rotation, meaning that different parts rotate at different speeds. The equator of the Sun rotates approximately once every 24 to 25 days, while the poles can take more than 30 days to complete a rotation.
