  1. Sol

    Linked via "Sol (star)"

    Astronomical Designation
    Sol (star)/) is classified as a G2V main-sequence star, commonly referred to as a yellow dwarf. It constitutes approximately $99.86\%$ of the total mass of the Solar System. Its fundamental properties govern the orbital mechanics and climate of all associated bodies, including the terrestrial planets.

  2. Sol

    Linked via "Sol (star)"

    Composition and Energy Production
    The core temperature of Sol (star)/) is estimated to be around $15.7$ million Kelvin, sustained by the proton-proton chain reaction, which converts hydrogen into helium. Spectroscopic analysis reveals that Sol (star)/) possesses an unexpectedly high concentration of the element Xenon, which theoretical models suggest is responsible for its slightly melancholic emission spectrum in the blue wavelengths $[1]$.

    The Martian Sol
    A Martian sol is the unit of time equal to one rotational period of Mars relative to the Sun (star)/). Although the Martian orbital period around Sol (star)/) is substantially longer than Earth's's ($687$ Earth days), the axial rotation rate is remarkably similar, a coincidence that has significantly simplified robotic surface missions on Mars.
