Abstract
The relation between the synodic and sidereal rotation period of the S un for an arbitrary date of observation is derived taking into account details of the Earth's motion. The transformation procedure between t he synodic (apparent) and sidereal rotation period presented here can be performed without using the annual ephemerides.
