Root Explanation

Solunar is formed from "sol" (from Latin "sol", meaning sun) and "lunar" (from Latin "lunaris", meaning moon). The word refers to the combined influence of the sun and moon, particularly in relation to tides and animal behavior.

Memory Tip

Think of the sun ('sol') and the moon ('lunar') working together — that's what solunar means, the influence of both celestial bodies.
