How to determine the position of the suns equator
I have a Yr 12 student who is trying to measure the rotation of the sun at different latitudes based on sunspot observation. Could someone tell me how or where we can work out the suns equator so she can work out the latitude of the sunspot and then the speed of rotation.

thanks
