The most widely used indicator of the stellar magnetic activity is the flux in the CaII K-line core (K-index) (Baliunas and Vaughan, 1985). The K-index data have also been used for measuring the rotation of stars. But using the method for the Sun gives different results (Keil and Worden, 1984; Singh and Livingston, 1987). The reason for the observed differences, besides those indicated by Singh and Livingston, may be the character of the distribution of active regions. This study is based on observations made at Tashkent Astronomical Observatory and the data published in SGD for solar cycle 21. We study the longitudional distribution of sunspots and plages. Some intervals of active longitudes (IAL) were selected and the evolution of them was studied. Active regions were found to concentrate in certain longitude intervals which are in nearly rigid rotation. Fig. 1 shows the longitudinal distribution of sunspots areas for 1983-84, as an example.
