Sun has a magnetosphere {heliosphere}. Ionized-gas convection makes magnetic fields. Because Sun plasma conducts, magnetic fields flow around convective zone and core. Faster rotation at equator wraps magnetic force lines around Sun, making stronger magnetic field than with no wrapping: 1000 gauss rather than 1 gauss like Earth. Magnetic-force lines repulse each other, making gas less dense there.
