The rotation of the solar corona has been studied using recurrence properties of the green coronal line (5303 A,) for the interval 1947-1970. Short-lived coronal activity is found to show the same differential rotation as short-lived photospheric magnetic field features. Long-lived recurrences show

Extreme ultraviolet spectroheliograms in Mg x (625 ~) and the Lyman continuum (897/~) obtained from OSO-6 are used to determine the differential rotation rate in the solar chromosphere and corona. The equatorial rotation rate agrees with spectroscopic measurements of the photospheric plasma velocity
The differential rotation of the solar corona has been analyzed using as the input data the brightness of the coronal green line Fe XIV 530.3 nm for more than five activity cycles. It is found that the character of rotation of the solar corona changes during the activity cycle. Approximately at the
