The star Sol in the Solar system
Sol, or simply known as the Sun is the only star in the Solar system. It is a regular main sequence star with eight planets in its orbit and is estimated to be around 4.6 billion years old. The average distance between Sol and Earth is about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles), and it takes light about eight minutes to reach it.
In 1999, the star's Solar flares were directly responsible for sending SG-1 30 years in the past, to the year 1969. However, they used a similar solar flare from that year to send them back to their present. (SG1: "1969")
In the year 2010, in an alternate timeline, SG-1 used a solar flare to send a note back to present day to warn Earth about the Aschen. (SG1: "2010")
