Differential rotation is central to a great many mysteries in stars andplanets. In Part I we predicted the order of magnitude and scaling of thedifferential rotation in both hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic convectionzones. Our results apply to both slowly- and rapidly-rotating systems, andprovide a general picture of differential rotation in stars and fluid planets.We further calculated the scalings of the meridional circulation, entropygradient and baroclinicity. In this companion paper we compare thesepredictions with a variety of observations and numerical simulations. With afew exceptions we find that these are consistent in both the slowly-rotatingand rapidly-rotating limits. Our results help to localize core-envelope shearin red~giant stars, suggest a rotation-dependent frequency shift in theinternal gravity waves of massive stars and potentially explain observeddeviations from von Zeipel's gravity darkening in late-type stars.
