	Soil conservation Soil conservation is a set of management strategies for prevention of soil being erosion from the earths surface or becoming chemically altered by overuse, salinization, acidification, or other chemical soil contamination. The principal approaches these strategies take are:
	Soil horizon A soil horizon is a specific layer in the soil. *1. Rock and rock particles, constituting the greatest portion of the soil. Mineral nutrients essential for plant growth are freed as these weather. *2. Humus dead and decaying plant and animal matter that retains water, sustains soil organisms, and provides nutrients.
	Soil profile A soil profile is a cross section through the soil which reveals its Soil horizon.

	Solanaceae The Solanaceae is a family of flowering plants, many of which are edible, while others are poisonous . The name of the family comes from the Latin Solanum "the nightshade plant", but the further etymology of that word is unclear; it has been suggested it originates from the Latin verb solari, meaning "to soothe".
	Solanum Solanum is a large, variable genus of annual plants and perennial plants, forbs, vines, sub-shrubs, shrubs, and small trees. They often have attractive fruit and flowers. Most are poisonous, but many bear edible fruits, leaf, or tubers, and the genus includes several cultivated species, including three major food crops:
	Solanum crispum Solanum crispum is also called the Chilean potato vine or Chilean potato-tree or often just potato vine. It belongs to the same genus as the The potato . The flowers resemble potato flowers. Solanum crispum is a South American, perennial, semi-evergreen, woody-stemmed Vine#Climbing plants that has blue flowers 2.5 cm in diameter with a yellow ovary, producing very small poisonous purple Berry in autumn.
	Solanum dulcamara Bittersweet is a species of vine in the potato genus Solanum, family Solanaceae. It is native to Europe and Asia, and widely naturalised elsewhere, including North America, where it is an Invasive species problem weed. It occurs in a very wide range of Habitat, from woodlands to scrubland, hedges and marshes.

	Solanum nigrum Solanum nigrum is a species in the Solanum genus, native to Eurasia and also introduced in the Americas. The green berries and mature leaves contain glycoalkaloids and are poisonous to eat raw. Their toxicity varies and there are some strains which have edible berries when fully ripe.Nancy J Turner, Adam F Szczawinski, "Common Poisonous Plants and Mushrooms of North America" p.128 The plant has a long history of medicinal usage, dating back to ancient Greece.
	Solar cell A solar cell is a semiconductor device that converts photons into electricity. Often, despite the term, solar cells can convert not only light from the sun but also light from artificial sources. Fundamentally, the device needs to fulfill only two functions: photogeneration of charge carriers in a light-absorbing material, and separation of the charge carriers to a conductive contact that will transmit the electricity.
	Solar collector For solar heating of domestic hot water, two common system types are thermosyphon and pumped. In the thermosyphon system, a storage tank is placed above the collector. As the water in the collector is heated, it will rise and naturally start to circulate around the tank. This draws in colder water from the bottom of the tank.
	Solar constant The solar constant is the amount of incoming solar radiation per unit area, measured on the outer surface of Earth's atmosphere, in a plane perpendicular to the rays. It is measured by satellite to be roughly 1366 watts per square metre. Thus, for the whole Earth, with a cross section of 127,400,000 km, the power is orders of magnitude watt.
	Solar eclipse A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. This configuration can only occur during a New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. In ancient times, and in some cultures today, solar eclipses are attributed to mythical properties.
	Solar flare A solar flare is a violent explosion in the Sun's atmosphere with an energy equivalent to tens of millions of hydrogen bombs. Solar flares take place in the solar corona and chromosphere, heating Plasma to tens of millions of kelvins and accelerating the resulting electrons, protons and heavier ions to near the speed of light.
	Solar furnace A solar furnace is a structure used to harness the sun's rays to produce very high temperatures. A solar furnace concentrates solar flux to produce heat at the focal point. The heat can be used to generate electricity, melt rock or steel or make hydrogen fuel.
	Solar panel The term solar panel may refer either to a photovoltaic array, a collection of solar cells used to generate electricity, or to a flat solar thermal collector, such as a solar hot water panel, used to generate solar hot water or otherwise collect solar thermal energy.

	Solar prominence A solar prominence is a large bright feature located in the solar corona. While the corona consists of extremely hot ionized gases, known as Plasma, which do not emit much visible light, prominences contain much cooler plasma, similar in composition to that of the chromosphere.
	Solar radiation Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun, particularly electromagnetic energy. About half of the radiation is in the light short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The other half is mostly in the near-infrared part, with some in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum .

	Soldering Soldering is a method of joining metal parts using an alloy of low melting point filler material which has a melting temperature below 450 C . Soldering is distinguished from brazing by virtue of a lower-temperature filler metal; it is distinguished from welding by virtue of the base metal not melting.
	Soldering iron A soldering iron is a device for applying heat to melt solder for soldering two metal parts together. A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip, with an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing a current, supplied through an electrical cord or a battery, through a resistive heating element.

Soles begin life as symmetry#Bilateral symmetry larvae, with an eye on each side of the head.
	Solenoid A solenoid is a loop of wire, often wrapped around a metal core, which produces a magnetic field when an electrical current is passed through it. Solenoids are important because they can create controlled magnetic fields and can be used as electromagnets. In physics, the term solenoid refers specifically to a magnet designed to produce a uniform magnetic field in a volume of space.

	Solstice A solstice is either of the two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the equator: in technical words, when the celestial equator and ecliptic reach their largest separation. They derive their name from the fact that when the Sun passes a solstice, it stands still in declination, i.e.
