ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Rayed solar symbol

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen the sun in the sky, shining bright and making everything warm and bright? The symbol we're talking about is kind of like a picture of the sun, but instead of it being a big yellow ball, it's just the rays of light coming out from the sun.

Imagine holding up your hand and sticking your fingers out straight. Now imagine those fingers are like the rays of sunlight coming out from the sun. That's what the rayed solar symbol looks like!

Sometimes people use this symbol to represent the sun, or to show something that's bright and shiny. It's a cool way to use a picture to tell a story without using words.
