Two pretty simple questions.

First question is, what is the mile range from the sun for a planet to be considered in the "sweet spot"?

Second, I know Earth rotates once every ~24 hours. Im wondering how long it takes the sun to rotate once.

Thanks, I'm just curious.

By "sweet spot" I assume you mean the habitable zone. Click here for that.

As for the Sun...I believe different parts of the Sun rotate at different speeds.

Regarding the Sun's rotation:

The Sun rotates around an axis which is roughly perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic; the Sun's rotational axis is tilted by 7.25° from perpendicular to the ecliptic. It rotates in the counterclockwise direction (when viewed from the north), the same direction that the planets rotate (and orbit around the Sun).

The Sun's rotation period varies with latitude on the Sun since it is made of gas. Equatorial regions rotate faster than polar regions. The equatorial regions (latitude = 0 degrees) rotate in about 25.6 days. The regions at 60 degrees latitude rotate in about 30.9 days. Polar regions rotate in about 36 days.

Thank you both very much. You were both really helpful, and that was exactly what I was looking for for each question. I didnt know the sun was on an axis (though i suppose it was pretty obvious) but i never thought about it. And I was mostly looking for the equatorial region. But since we're on a tilt, does that mean our equator is at 24 hours, but our poles are at something different?

With out starting a new thread, I would like to also ask a question relating to this

In terms of the earths rotation. How fast would be too fast?
I.e. At which speed would the earths rotation have the minimal effect of a centrifuge?
