升阳

太阳计算机系统公司（Sun Microsystems），台湾称昇阳电脑公司，创建于1982年，1986年在美国成功上市。主要产品是工作站及服务器。1992年升阳推出了市场上第一台多处理器台式机SPARCstation 10 system，并与次年进入财富500强。Sun公司的名字是由Stanford University Network缩写而来。

1995年升阳开发了Java技术，第一个通用软件平台。在1997年升阳开始推出其新的64位元服务器家族Sun Enterprise 10000。同年又开发出Java 2。

升阳在行业中被认为是同行中最具创造性的企业之一，它想尝试新的软件方式和定价模式等等。目前它是唯一一家自己生产电脑和作業系統及其芯片的公司，因此其成本高于竞争对手，不过最近升阳也开始采用Intel等其他公司的产品。且其作業系統Solaris也開始採用開放原始碼。

升阳在中国北京、成都、广州和上海设有分支机构。 Template:IT giants

Like other natural phenomena, the Sun has been an object of veneration in many cultures throughout human history. Sol (IPA: [sɔl]) was the name of the Sun in Latin. The Latin name is widely known, but not common in general English language usage, although the related adjective solar is more common. 'Sol' is more frequently used in science fiction writing (Star Trek in particular) as a formal name for the specific star, since in many stories the local sun is a different star and thus the generic term "the sun" would be ambiguous. By extension, the Solar System is often referred to in science fiction as the "Sol System".

The term sol is used by planetary astronomers to refer to the duration of a solar day on Mars.[52] A mean Earth solar day is approximately 24 hours. A mean Martian solar day, or "sol", is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds.[53] See also Timekeeping on Mars.

Sol is also the modern word for "Sun" in Portuguese, Spanish, Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Catalan and Galician. The Peruvian currency nuevo sol is named after the Sun (in Spanish), like its successor (and predecessor, in use 1985–1991) the Inti (in Quechua). Also "Sol" in Persian means a solar year.

In East Asia the Sun is given the symbol 日 (Chinese pinyin rì) though it is also called 太阳 (tài yáng). In Vietnamese these Han words are known as nhật and thái dương, respectively though the native Vietnamese word mặt trời literally means face of the heavens. The Moon and the Sun are associated with the yin and yang, with the Sun representing yang and the Moon yin as dynamic opposites.
