sunlike
Resembling our star
Sunlike describes something resembling the sun in appearance, brightness, or warmth.
A sunlike glow might fill a room, or a sunlike face might radiate cheerfulness.
In astronomy, sunlike stars share characteristics with our sun—similar size, temperature, and luminosity: Astronomers search for planets orbiting sunlike stars.
