The study of solar rotation through ground and space-based observations has unveiled intricate dynamics within our nearest star. This abstract encapsulates the significance of investigating solar rotation, highlighting how various observational techniques have provided insights into the Sun's internal behavior and its influence on solar activity. Ground-based observatories, such as the Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG), have enabled the continuous monitoring of surface rotation patterns, while space-based instruments like the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) offer detailed views of the Sun's internal structures. By employing helioseismology, researchers have delved into the differential rotation and angular momentum distribution within the solar core, shedding light on its enigmatic processes. Moreover, longitudinal studies of solar rotation variations have led to the discovery of active longitudes and equatorial Rossby waves, connecting rotation with magnetic activity. This abstract emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of solar rotation research, combining observations, helioseismic techniques, and numerical simulations to unravel the Sun's rotational mysteries, ultimately enhancing our understanding of its broader impact on space weather and Earth's environment
