Questions answered about the Sun

The first question is: "Is the Sun made of  plasma and liquid and Gases?

The first state is a solid and it is the coldest state of matter. As we heat up a solid it becomes liquid. Liquid is the second state of matter. As we heat up liquid, the liquid turns to gas. Gas is the third state of matter. As we heat up the gas, atoms break apart into charged particles turning the gas into plasma. This is not the same type of plasma that is found in your blood: same name, different stuff.

The Sun's plasma is so hot that the most energetic charged particles can escape from the Sun's gravity and fly away, out into space. We call this plasma the solar wind because it blows out away from the Sun and past the planets, interacting with their magnetic fields and/or atmospheres. Along with the solar wind comes the Sun's magnetic field, which reaches from the Sun out to past Pluto and Neptune. end quote from: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/themis/auroras/sun_earth_connect.html

How often does the sun spin on its axis?

So, we find that the Sun is both Plasma and superheated gases. And we find that it takes 25.05 days to rotate at its equator but it takes 34.3 days to rotate at the poles because it is plasma and not a liquid or a solid and so it behaves differently than those two forms of matter as it rotates at different speeds. The way it moves is easier for me to think about if I combine the attributes of both wind and water to some degree to allow for how different parts of the sun rotate in my own imagination.  Maybe the closest to plasma is watching videos of lava flow down a mountain or out into the sea at a place like Kilauea on the big Island of Hawaii. I think that might be the most similar natural thing on earth we have to the sun, flowing lava.
