The Sun Is A Star

The sun is the star at the center of the solar system. It is almost perfectly spherical and consists of hot plasma interwoven with magnetic fields. Astronomers found that the frequency of the light from point A is greater than that from point B above. Which of the following statements is correct in this connection?

a) This phenomenon proves the fact that the sun rotates in the direction from point A to B. In other words, as viewed from the top, the sun rotates counter-clockwise.

b) The light from point A shows a Doppler blueshift effect, and the light from point B shows a redshift effect.

c) The magnitude of the increase or decrease in frequency by the Doppler effect at point C is greater than that at point B.

c) only a), b) and c) a) only b) only

the answer is a,b and c. the sun does rotate in counterclockwise direction when viewed from the north. 'A' point emits blueshift effect due to the shorter wavelength

but blue shift effect is seen with an approaching body and you say that the sun is moving from a to b then how can blue shift effect be seen at a

when ANYTHING is rotating and if the observer sees it through the equatorial plane [applicable here] then one side will come closer to the observer and the opposite side will go far from the observer. sun is obviously a 3D object. so at he two opposite side of the sun(a&c), red shift-blue shift comes into play.

as the sun is spherical, when rotates from a to b, due to its shape the point A is approaching the observer causing blue shift.
