Sum Yung Guy 2002-08-16 05:15 AM

In EnB its listed as SOL

Chruser 2002-08-16 05:52 AM

No, Sol is the name of the sun.
Actually, the Greeks called it Helios back in the day.

The solar system doesn't have a name, it's just called the Solar System.

Most solar systems names are based on the name of their star, and how we were taught the name or our solar system is Sol.

Only if you're not using synthesis. If you use synthesis, it is facing the correct direction.
