Hello all.
         Can someone tell me why the term "Sol" is used for the Martian day ?.

       Have a nice Sol.

Because The Sun's real name is Sol.

So a Sol is one revolution of the sun due to the planet spinning on its axes.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. Carl Sagan
