    What is the Sun's leg?

    Question #20399. Asked by NASA.

    mk2norwich

    As far as I'm aware, the sun does not possess limbs of any description. SUNS LEG IN is an anagram of 'ugliness' or there could be a golfing connection, perhaps.... http://www.sun.co.uk/events/2002/july/golf2002/turnberry.html

    Besides the common word 'limb', there is a word 'limb' meaning 'the edge of the disk of a heavenly body, especially the sun or moon' (Oxford English Dictionary). Thomas Hardy, describing a sunrise in 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles', writes 'The sun's lower limb was just free of the hill'.

    If this question is a cryptic crossword clue or some kind of riddle, there may be a play on the words 'lower limb'.
