Angular Velocity: How Long Is a Day on The Sun?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Young scholars establish the angular velocity of the Sun and determine how long it takes the Sun to make one complete revolution. They determine what angular velocity is and how it can be useful in determining the speed and direction of any circular object.
