Carrington rotation
The Sun's own month. Because the Sun is not solid it turns at different speeds by latitude, so the count uses a mean of about 27.2753 days as seen from Earth. The rotations have been numbered CONTINUOUSLY since 9 November 1853, and active regions face Earth again on that cycle, which is the only genuine recurrence space weather has.
