Sol, commonly referred to as the Sun to those in its orbit, was a yellow star in the universe of Earth-2. The star was orbited by at least two astronomical bodies, including the planet Earth and Mars, both part of the Solar System. The star was destroyed presumably by a wave of antimatter shortly before the onset of the Anti-Monitor Crisis, along with the rest of the universe of Earth-2.

History

Known orbiters

The planet Earth (Earth-2) was said to have a cleaner climate than Earth-1 due to less pollution in the atmosphere;^[1] as especially noted in Gorilla City (Earth-2); Africa (Earth-2) in early 2017 (on the day of February 21).^[2]. It is also noted that Earth (Earth-1) sometimes lacks clouds unlike this earth, causing far more solar radiation to irradiate the planet. Additionally, the planet Mars (Earth-2) was presumably fairly close to Earth (Earth-2), as the residents of Central City (Earth-2) had enough information about the planet to create an entire exhibit on it at a planetarium there, when Jesse Wells was four years old and her father Harry Wells shut down the facility out of fear of losing her when she got lost there.^[3]

Age of meta-humans

Central City (Earth-2) was a retro-futuristic city located in the United States (Earth-2), whcih has a building that features a sun-like logo on it.^[4][5] At some point in mid-May of 2017 (day 17), Cisco Ramon vibed a possible future of "Earth-2 being ripped to shreds" via Zoom's Magnetar, possibly including Central City (Earth-2); the now empty Central City aerial tramway was seen to crumble onto the S.T.A.R. Laboratories parking lot, while the Los Angeles-like buildings themselves were torn apart/as the planet Earth (Earth-2) split at the poles. The Sun was likely also shredded into a cloud of gas or dust from the trans-dimensional shock wave,^[6] though this destructive/apocalyptic event was avoided at the last second, due to a time remnant of Barry Allen/The Flash interfering with the Magnetar device.

Destruction of Earth-2

In late 2019 (on the night of October 15, when the Sun is shining presumably far away the Americas/the United States (Earth-2)), the entire planet of Earth (Earth-2) was vaporised by a wave of antimatter, presumably killing all of its residents that were not relocated via interdimensional extrapolator to breach out of the universe of Earth-2 itself, and likely also destroying any other planetary bodies such as planet Mars (Earth-2) and the Sun itself.^[7] One week later, there is now no longer any sign of life on the planet Earth (Earth-2) itself, seeing as the whole universe of Earth-2 is now a shadow. However, Hong Kong (Earth-1) tends to retain a very similar yellow-tinted daylight to its own city skyline, as of October 22.^[8]

Appearances

Being Earth (Earth-2)'s Yellow Sun, Sol has had numerous cameo appearances throughout most, if not all of the The Flash appearances that feature Earth-2 during the daytime. However, it was highlighted in several episodes when suspended in the sky:

The Flash

Season 2

• "Gorilla Warfare" (distant skyline)
• "Flash of Two Worlds" (distant skyline)
• "Welcome to Earth-2" (distant skyline)
• "Invincible" (distant skyline)

Season 3

• "Attack on Gorilla City" (distant skyline)

Arrow

Season 8

Trivia

• The most noticeable difference between Earth-1 and Earth-2 can be immediately seen, most of the time on Central City (Earth-2); the Sun's daylight on Earth (Earth-2) illuminates everything given with a yellow tint, especially so in Gorilla City (Earth-2). However, as seen in the Arrow episode "Starling City", this is not seen in Starling City (Earth-2), meaning the yellow sunlight's filter was only a design choice on The Flash.
