How the Sun's Magnetic Field Winds up and Loops Out

LOLLLL

I'm not one to sound stupid, but can you explain to me what's happening?

I'm only in high school in AP physics, and we haven't really covered this sort of thing yet o-o"

@vandread3555 The sun's equator rotates at a faster speed than its poles. So the magnetic field goes with it. Eventually the differences in rotation cause the field to loop around and creates that sort of pattern. neat!
