 Sol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sol is the name or personification of the Sun (in Latin), and can also refer to sunlight, sunbeam, or east (the direction where the Sun rises).
By extension, the Solar System is often referred to in science fiction as the "Sol System".
SOL is an acronym for the Satellite of Love, the spacecraft serving as the main setting for the television show Mystery Science Theater 3000.

 Sol
Finally, Sol has about 50 percent more heavy elements than other stars of its age and type, but only about a third of their variation in brightness, which is also fortunate because heavy elements are essential to make planets like Earth and large stellar flare-ups can harm planetary life with hard radiation.
Sol is becoming hotter and brighter as fusion of helium "ash" becomes more statistically common with the gradual depletion of hydrogen at its core, which may be half helium after 4.6 billion years of hydrogen fusion.
Sol is expected to become another 10 percent brighter over the next 1.1 billion years, and so Earth may become too uncomfortably hot for even microbial life in another 500 to 900 million years.

 Oort Cloud & Sol b?
In 1950, Jan Hendrik Oort (1900-1992) inferred the existence of the Oort Cloud from the physical evidence of long-period comets entering the planetary system.
Oddly enough, Oort Cloud objects were probably formed in a region of the protoplanetary disk that was located closer to the Sun than the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt objects that persist in the orbital plane of the planets (ecliptic) to this day.
During the first 100 million years of the System's birth, small planetary bodies that formed near the developing giant planets would have been ejected from their neighorhood through gravitational encounters (Levison et al, 1999; and Dones et al, 1998).
