Re: Solar rotation period

There is too much intellectual atrophy at present and even though I
came up with the link between diffferential rotation between Equatorial
and polar regions as the mechanism for the Earth's deviation from a
perfect sphere about its axis and subsequently the motion of the
component plates that profile the Earth's shape,I have intentionally
left it for participants to pick up on.

No use sticking with convection cells as a mechanism for crustal motion
as that sloppy mechanism has no link with the Earth's interior dynamics
in the molten mantle in generating the Equatorial bulge.

No use sticking with the Newtonian explanation for there is nothing to
make it deviate from a perfect sphere,using the Sun's plasma as a
guide,it should be obvious enough that the differential between the
Earth's mantle rotating at 1000 miles an hour at the Equator and
diminishing to 0 at the poles would generate a differential that is not
as dramatic as it would first appear but enough to cause the 46 km
difference across the pole to Equator.

Look at the Sun's surface in rotation and it is difficult to imagine
how the Earth's shape could be otherwise.

To answer Axel's question a solid rotating shell would not display a
deviation from a perfect sphere,anything less will and I know that Axel
is one of the few men good enough to affirm this.

The best I can come up with is this: 1) latitude is referenced to the equator, 2) the equator is defined by the great circle that is equidistant from the geographic poles, and 3) the precession of the earth's rotation changes the location of the earth's rotation axis in space. ...
