We revere The Sun as light & heat energy giver at the center- as the symbol for the Self as the eternal omnipotent source of all.
At the centre of all is a divine law in the Veda called Rta, called Ma'at by the Egyptians & Harmonie by the Greeks, maintaining stable order of the world operating vertically throughout the Natural, Spiritual & Socioeconomic layers of creation.
Supreme law emanates from Truth.
There is Truth beyond, that which remains ever the same.
And there are the laws of truth, the forces of Nature or Shakti's, that regulate this creation to be orderly & seasonal in order to provide for the needs of all beings in the creation.
Sekhmet
Sekhmet whose name means: "She who is powerful" or
"the One who loves Ma'at" was the goddess of the hot desert sun, plague, chaos, war, and healing. She was created from the fire of the sun god Ra's eye when he looked upon Earth. Ra created her as a weapon to destroy humans for their disobedience to him and for not living in accordance with the principles of Ma'at.
Sekhmet was depicted with the body of a woman with a lion head wearing a sun disk.
Copernicus describing the Sun mythologically, drawing from Greco-Roman examples:
In the middle of all sits the Sun on his throne. In this loveliest of temples, could we place the luminary in any more appropriate place so that he may light the whole simultaneously. Rightly is he called the Lamp, the Mind, the Ruler of the Universe: Hermes Trismegistus entitles him the God Visible. Sophocles' Electra names him the All-seeing. Thus does the Sun sit as upon a royal dais ruling his children the planets which circle about him.
