In the case of the Sun, even this criterion fails (because its magnetosphere is very complex and does not really rotate in a steady fashion), and an agreed-upon value for the rotation of its equator is used instead.

In simpler terms, imagine a distant, non-orbiting observer viewing a planet as it rotates. Also suppose that this observer is
