solar disc
Visible star shape
The solar disc is the sun as it appears in the sky—a bright circular shape rather than the astronomical body itself.
The term emphasizes visual appearance: The solar disc hung low on the horizon.
In ancient Egyptian religion, the solar disc (often called Aten) was worshipped as a deity, depicted as a circle with radiating rays.
