Perihelion

[JiliTheSpaceboy 330]

"Perihelion is the nearest point to Sol exist in every orbits around Sol. This is where the object will get the most energy from the Sol and mostly, the hottest time in it's one year."

 

 

This is supposed to named "Introduction to Sol" but I think it's too simple so I choose this.

Sol. The Spanish word for sun. Clever.

Sol. The Spanish word for sun. Clever.   

Sol is latin for The Sun and is also the word used in the future to refer The Sun that we used today.

 

Don't understand why human praised their stuffs as the grand stuffs of the universe like, The Sun (Sol), The Moon (Luna), The Earth -- this is acceptable, at least not "The Planet" or The Galaxy (Milky Way).

Because it's "The Sun" and "The Moon" to us? Plus, that originated before humans even knew about the other stars being as large and even larger than the sun. Our sun and our moon are what are most relevant to us, and therefore we hold them higher than those things that are further away... That's like saying we shouldn't call our rulers "The President" because there are other presidents and rulers in the world besides our own...

If you're away from your own country (In this case America) then you should refer your President as "American President". Seriously. You go to other countries with presidents and say: "The president is going to Chicago." and peoples say "No, he isn't." and then the great arguing battle started.

 

What if humans are successfully go to other stars and then meet aliens? The aliens probably don't know about our Sun and our Moon. So saying "The Sun" is the great confusion. In many sci-fiction, Sol and Luna is used to prevent confusion. 

 

In my own story, in the old world they still refer The Sun and The Moon like today, however after the first successful mission to the stars of the new world, Sol and Luna completely replaces The Sun and The Moon to prevent further confusion. Term "sun" now means stars and "moon" is natural satellite in orbit around the planet. Also the planet is the object that have not enough mass to fusion Deuterium and no longer need to orbit stars. The Earth sometimes previously referred as "The Planet".

But we are not successfully meeting aliens and we're not going to a different 'country', as it were. For us it is 'the Sun', and 'the Moon', and if we did meet aliens, first off, there'd be the issue of languages dividing us. Then the aliens could be hostile. And bro... How hard would it be for us to say 'our sun' or 'our moon' for their convenience when we're around the aliens? I can see your point, but it's only valid if we do have contact with aliens, which we don't.

Today it is no confusion as humans always refer The Sun as our sun. I mean in the future.
