> Sol

It's called the solar system. "Sol" is not an official name.

[kortex]

> Names Sun, Sol /ˈsɒl/,[1] Sól, Helios /hiːliəs/[2]

Also el sol (es), o sol (pr), il sole (it), le soleil (fr), etc.

Technically the IAU hasn't sanctioned an official name, but Sol is fairly well understood.

You might be interested to know that Sōl is Latin for Sun and has also come to refer to our solar system.

That’ll change at some point, and it’s difficult to make a case for a better name.

I like Helios better.

Is the Sun (the actual star) not also known as "Sol"?

[daveslash]

I've never really thought about it before, but I'm not sure if "The Sun" actually has an officially sanctioned name! I'll accept "Sol", and "The Sol System". I'll also accept "Helios/The Helios System", or the "Terran System" to refer to our entire Solar System. And I'm sure many different cultures have their own term. But in terms of science/academia, I'm not sure that it has an official name. Looks like the IAU (International Astronomical Union) hasn't given it a sanctioned designation. [0] [1] [2]

In Swedish the sun is literally called Sol (or solen in its definite form)
