Rotating Lines Around A circle

Processing Beginners

Hello,
I am trying to rotate 15 lines around the center point of a circle in unison. The lines start at the correct positions, but they rotate at different speeds. Thanks for any help!

// GLOBAL VARIABLES
final int SUN_DIAMETER = 150;
final int NUMBER_OF_RAYS = 15;
float angle = TWO_PI/NUMBER_OF_RAYS;
float RING_OF_LINES = SUN_DIAMETER*.5 + 30;



// SETUP

void setup(){
   size(600,400);
}

//DRAW

void draw(){
  background(51);
  translate(width/2,height/2);
  
  noFill();
  stroke(255);
  ellipse(0,0,SUN_DIAMETER,SUN_DIAMETER);
  
  
  for(int i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_RAYS; i++){
    line(RING_OF_LINES,0,RING_OF_LINES+40,0);
    rotate(angle);
  }
  angle += .001;
}
