      sunna; perh. fr. same root as L. sol. [fb]297. Cf. {Solar},
      {South}.]
      1. The luminous orb, the light of which constitutes day, and
            its absence night; the central body round which the earth
            and planets revolve, by which they are held in their
            orbits, and from which they receive light and heat. Its
            mean distance from the earth is about 92,500,000 miles,
            and its diameter about 860,000.
  
      Note: Its mean apparent diameter as seen from the earth is
               32[b7] 4[sec], and it revolves on its own axis once in
               25[frac13] days. Its mean density is about one fourth
               of that of the earth, or 1.41, that of water being
               unity. Its luminous surface is called the photosphere,
               above which is an envelope consisting partly of
               hydrogen, called the chromosphere, which can be seen
               only through the spectroscope, or at the time of a
               total solar eclipse. Above the chromosphere, and
               sometimes extending out millions of miles, are luminous
               rays or streams of light which are visible only at the
               time of a total eclipse, forming the solar corona.
  
      2. Any heavenly body which forms the center of a system of
            orbs.
  
      3. The direct light or warmth of the sun; sunshine.
  
                     Lambs that did frisk in the sun.         --Shak.
  
      4. That which resembles the sun, as in splendor or
            importance; any source of light, warmth, or animation.
  
                     For the Lord God is a sun and shield. --Ps. lxxiv.
                                                                              11.

      {Sun and planet wheels} (Mach.), an ingenious contrivance for
            converting reciprocating motion, as that of the working
            beam of a steam engine, into rotatory motion. It consists

            to the shaft it is desired to drive, and another wheel
            (called the planet wheel) secured to the end of a
            connecting rod. By the motion of the connecting rod, the
            planet wheel is made to circulate round the central wheel
            on the shaft, communicating to this latter a velocity of
            revolution the double of its own. --G. Francis.

            a surrounding border of lighter shade, and usually seen
            only by the telescope, but sometimes by the naked eye.
            They are very changeable in their figure and dimensions,
            and vary in size from mere apparent points to spaces of
            50,000 miles in diameter. The term sun spots is often used
            to include bright spaces (called facul[91]) as well as
            dark spaces (called macul[91]). Called also {solar spots}.
            See Illustration in Appendix.
  
      {Sun star} (Zo[94]l.), any one of several species of
            starfishes belonging to {Solaster}, {Crossaster}, and
            allied genera, having numerous rays.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hornet
      Heb. tsir'ah, "stinging", (Ex. 23:28; Deut. 7:20; Josh. 24:12).
      The word is used in these passages as referring to some means by
      which the Canaanites were to be driven out from before the
      Israelites. Some have supposed that the word is used in a
      metaphorical sense as the symbol of some panic which would seize
      the people as a "terror of God" (Gen. 35:5), the consternation
      with which God would inspire the Canaanites. In Palestine there
      are four species of hornets, differing from our hornets, being
      larger in size, and they are very abundant. They "attack human
      beings in a very furious manner." "The furious attack of a swarm
      of hornets drives cattle and horses to madness, and has even
      caused the death of the animals."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Horonite
      the designation of Sanballat (Neh. 2:10, 19), a native of
      Horonaim, or of one of the two Beth-horons, the "upper" or the
      "nether," mentioned in Josh. 16:3,5.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Horonites, men of anger, or of fury, or of liberty
