Do Sunflowers ALWAYS Face the Sun? How Do They Even Rotate?

  • Young sunflowers face the sun when it rises in the east and then track its motion in the sky throughout the day till it sets in the west in the evening. The process repeats the next day, as sunflowers return to their ‘starting’ position, i.e. facing east. Ancient Greeks knew about this phenomenon, and they called such plants Heliotropium, meaning “sun turn”. Today, we call this phenomenon heliotropism. So, how do sunflowers face the sun? Also, do all sunflowers face the sun?

    Yes. A sunflower farmer all my life. Sunflowers always follow the sun. Until 7 years ago all change. White sun. Where is our yellow sun.
    I get a kick about all the people trying to tell me otherwise.

      Yes, our sun is now covered up with a white led which blocks out the good rays and the UV rays it emits are more harmful to us and bleaches and burns us and our plants. I noticed this the last two years... What they're doing is wicked.

      Hi, its not a sun simulator. its a Fresnel lens at LaGrange Point 1. That's why the sun looks like an LED light now. the lens is blocking out infrared and focusing more UV radiation on the earth.
      "UV-B rays are the harmful rays that cause sunburn. Exposure to UV-B rays increases the risk of DNA and other cellular damage in living organisms"
      "UV radiation can damage plants and limit photosynthesis. Scientists have found that overexposure to UV radiation reduces size, productivity, and quality in several crop species, including many varieties of rice, soybeans, winter wheat, cotton, and corn. Sometimes, UV can cause bleaching of plants, visible as damage or discoloration. Planting tender young plants in the shadow of larger plants can help protect them from UV radiation."

    • @Scienceabc

      Hi Gargi, making animations increases the time it takes to create a video. We were doing that initially but then each video took about a month to make. We are still doing it for some of our videos. And people wanted more of these videos which was not possible with animation only.
