Of the star
Solar means relating to the sun.
Solar energy comes from sunlight; a solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun.
The solar system comprises the sun and everything orbiting it.
In anatomy, the solar plexus is a nerve network in the abdomen—so named because nerves radiate from it like rays from the sun.
