What do you call the sun in Kerbal Space Program

[Sarge82nd]

I call the star Kerbin Prime, it just sounds cool. I've heard people call it kerbol or the sun. What do you call it?

[Scotius]

Kerbol. I guess it's made like this: KERbal + sOL - so it kinda fits

[tntristan12]

I've called it Kerbol since forever... Even after they started calling it "the sun" in game I refuse to give up!

[Mercy]

Kerbol. It's not canon but I like it.

[maltesh]

I just call it "The Sun." In the setting of Kerbal Space Program, the Kerbals haven't spread sufficiently far that they'd need the disambiguation. THey're "The Mountains" until your civilization finds out about other mountain ranges. It's "The Sea" until you start journeying to the other large bodies of water. It's "The Sun" until you've got interstellar colonies large and important enough that you need to be more specific.

[kahlzun]

I tend to call it Kerbol.

[rryy]

I like to call it the "sun" because Kerbol just seems weird to say for me.

[Agent30632]

Kerbol .

[TheTriniFlyer]

Well... I like to call it Kerbol

On the record:

Kerbol is a fan made term but no one knows who started it.

But the devs stated that it is 'The Sun' and will be until a second star system is created, and that won't happen for a long time.

[Richy teh space man]

I think of it as Kerbol as well.

[allmappedout]

I call it Susan, and you should respect its life choices.

[zxcvb55]

I've never cared for the name Kerbol. Far too similar to Kerbal, and like somebody else mentioned it just feels weird to say, for lack of a better description.

For now it's The Sun. I'll let the devs decide on a name since they've done a good job with the planets so far.

[ShachonianX]

I just call it Kerbol.

[Rockcoole]

I call it Sol. I thought that was its name.

[cesarcurado]

I used to call it Kerbol but now I just call it Sun, like in the info display

[Mantis Toboggan]

Well, since the Kerbals speak reverse Spanish, wouldn't it just be Los?

[Guest]

I call it Susan, and you should respect its life choices.

This sums it up nicely.

[Frederf]

I've been calling it Kerbol too but I don't like it. It needs a name that is not confusing but properly KSP-ized. Kol? I know the K-words are passe but I would be much happier calling it Kol than Kerbol or Sun.

Kerbol should be official, but Knova is still mad about the Kearth Dilemma

[Temstar]

I like the name Kerbol, and yes the kerbals would have a name for their sun assuming they know that all the other points of light in the sky are also balls of fusioning hydrogen like their own sun. Here on Earth that realisation came pretty early, way earlier than modern rocketry.

Actually, in this sense it makes sense of Kerbol to start with a K. I've always interpreted it as meaning "System of the Kerbals" with Kerbin meaning "Planet of the Kerbals." It doesn't just sound like somebody tool "Sol" and forced it to start with a K. So no, I don't think this one particularly applies to the "Kearth Dilemma."

[itsme86]

I call it Kerbol, unless someone I'm talking to refers to it as "the sun". Then I just call it "the sun" so we're using the same terminology.

[FlamedSteak]

I never liked Kerbol, it's too close to Kerbin and easily confused.

[Brotoro]

I call it "Kerbol"...or more informally, "the sun."

[razark]

"The Evil Daystar" works for me.

Oh, you meant the one in game. Usually "the sun" if I need to, maybe Kerbol. I usually don't talk about it, so I don't have a usual name for it.
