sun 88 The magnetic field of the Sun is also responsible for some "magnetic braking", tied to the rotation rate of the Sun. So, it turns out that the Sun is actually slowly losing angular momentum, because some angular momentum is being carried away with the solar wind..

sicbo sunwin I quite liked this one [archived] describing measurements on cars. It shows that things left in the sun can get significantly hotter than the surrounding air (although there are some issues with the method used, the conclusions are mostly valid), One final note - how hot things are is not the same as how hot they seem to be.
