Yes it does
It takes 25.38 days to complete 1 rotation.
If you think about it, it doesn't really roate clockwise or counterclockwise because it depends on what direction you view it from! For more information visit these sites. Hope this helps!

Yes, the Sun does rotate on its axis once in about 27 days, with the equatorial regions rotating a bit faster than the polar regions, 24 days vs. 30 days in estimates!! The sun's axis is tilted at 7.25 degrees in relation to earth's planar orbit around the sun. It rotates in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from the top (in relation to Earth's North and South poles.) The sun's rotation was confirmed by observing the sun spots.

The sun does rotate
as we look at it, it rotates right - counter clockwise

Yes it does. Counter clockwise when viewed from the top.
