Some results of the calculations of the angular velocity distribution in the equatorial plane of a nonhomogeneously rotating star, in particular of the Sun, are presented. Hence the hypothesis is advanced of the turbulent viscosity as one of the main factors of the angular momentum transport from a rapidly rotating core through the radiative equilibrium region.
