Abstract

This paper focuses on the observations of sunspots made by Ruđer Bošković in 1777. We derived the expressions needed to calculate the elements of the Sun’s rotation and period from observations. We used modern ephemeris data in the processing of the observation results. Obtained results are very similar to Bošković’s original calculations. In addition to historical significance, they also provide scientifically valuable data on the Sun’s differential rotation, which plays a significant role in generating and maintaining solar magnetic activity.
