Reply to comment by herbw in TIL the largest moon in our solar system, Ganymede, is larger than the planet of Mercury by Jugales
SOL-ar. We get the word solar from Sol. Using that logic, any other planetary system would be a star-ar system. Colloquially, sure, since we all get what you're saying, but to scientists, who love to "achtchually.." people, they need to be very technically correct
