Le Soleil

Le Soleil is the French term for "the Sun." It is a masculine noun (indicated by the definite article "le") and refers specifically to the star at the center of our solar system. In French, "Soleil" without the definite article "le" can refer to sunlight or sunshine in a more general sense. The term is widely used in French-speaking countries and cultures in astronomical, meteorological, and figurative contexts. The Sun, as the nearest star to Earth, plays a crucial role in the planet's climate, ecosystems, and the very existence of life. Its study is a significant area of scientific research.
