Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -SUN’S ROTATION can be monitored by noting the daily progress across the solar disk of a tracer such as a sunspot or a gaseous filament. Such features are associated with magnetic fields, which can be detected directly by means of a solar magneto graph.
Detailed explanation-2: -One full solar rotation is 360 so instead of degrees per day, the number of days for a full rotation should also be calculated. Do this by dividing 360 by the value found for the degrees travelled per day.
