Summary

Description
English: If a sunspot moves along the Sun's equator from B to A, on the surface of the sun, its transit time is longer than that of another sunspot moving from L to D. However if the sunspots are not on the surface but above it, at C and E rather than B and L, the differential speed of their transit is reduced. (CB equals BA, but EL does not equal LD). The closer the sunspots are to the surface, the more their relative speeds can vary; the further they are from the surface, the less difference in speed will be observed.
