Origin
"Sol" is the Latin name for the Sun. In English and many other languages, the term "solar" is derived from "Sol," and it's used to describe things related to the Sun. For example, "solar system" refers to the Sun and all the celestial bodies that move around it, including planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and more.
The Sun, or Sol, is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) located in the Milky Way galaxy. It's the most important source of energy for life on Earth. The processes within the Sun involve nuclear fusion, primarily converting hydrogen into helium, which releases the energy that powers the Sun and produces sunlight.
In some cultures and mythologies, Sol is also personified as a god or deity. For instance, in ancient Roman mythology, Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was an official sun god and was celebrated with a festival on December 25.
In modern usage, especially in science fiction contexts, "Sol" can be used to refer specifically to our Sun to distinguish it from other stars.
