Coronal rotation is different in the northern and southern hemispheres of the Sun and varies with the cycle of solar activity. A sharp decrease in linear velocity by 0.4 km s−1 on the latitude and its relative constancy in the latitude interval 35° < φ < 50° are the most typical.

In the southern polar region an intensive stream of coronal gas directed oppositely to the solar rotation was detected during the time interval 1969–1972. In the greater part of the latitude range, on average, the corona rotates more slowly in comparison with the solar atmosphere at the photospheric level.
