Well-confirmed helioseismic data from several groups using various observational techniques at different sites have allowed us to determine the differential rotation in the outer half of the Sun’s interior. The resulting rotation law is simple – the surface differential rotation persists through much of the convection zone with a transition toward solid body rotation beneath. To date there is no appealing evidence for a rapidly rotating core. There is however, weak evidence for a solar cycle dependence of the Sun’s internal rotation.
