Yes, they called it Sol. However this was the Latin word for sun. The Romans never worshiped the sun as a separate god as the Egyptians did, although the god Apollo, in some of his aspects was considered a sun-god.
The Sol Invictus. The unconquered sun
Helios, Ἥλιος. For the most part, things like the sun are named for the gods that represent them (or vice versa). Fun fact, in that Greek word there, the H is the E sound and that little thing on the front makes the H sound; its rough breathing, but it sounds a bit like an H sound. Most people think that it signifies words that used to start with S, the reasoning being that if you make an S sound and gradually lower your tongue, it turns into an H sound.
It depends really, this question is rather broad but I shall try my best. Roman Politicians would wear a green wreath around their head. While farmers would wear basic straw/grass hats. While the military (depending on your rank) would wear combat helmets or ceremonial ones.
It's the same - the sun set in the west. Set is an irregular verb. The past tense is also 'set'.
The reason we English speakers call 12pm βnoonβ is because the liturgical recitation of nones (βninth hourβ or 3pm in Latin) was moved up by hungry monks more and more until nones (3pm) was celebrated as early as 12pm so that they could break fast and eat lunch!)

No. The Greeks had two sun gods, Apollo, who drew his power from the sun, and Helios, who drove the sun chariot. The Romans downsized to Apollo only.

The Greeks called the sun "Helios." He was considered a god in Greek mythology and was often depicted riding a chariot pulled by fiery horses across the sky.
The Greek word for sun is helios.
yes, they worshipped many gods. Somewhat like the Greeks and Romans. Ra was the king of the gods, and the sun god.
The Greeks developed many forms of the sun dial around 100BCE. The Romans adopted these dials. The Egyptians and Babylonians have also been credited
The sun dial was not invented by the Romans. It was invented before the days of the Romans by the Egyptians and the Babylonians
Yes!!!! In the modern world is it called the SUN . The Classical Greeks named it HELIOS The Latin name was SOLA The
For the most part the Greeks and Romans believed in Apollo (one of the only Greek Gods names to stay during Roman Times) but several other gods in both Greek and Roman areas also paid tribute to Helios (Roman: Solaris) and there were several minor dieties as well.
