Does the Egyptian god Aten have relatives?

The ancient Egyptian term for the disk of the sun was Aten, but this term initially could be applied to any disk, including even the surface of a mirror or the moon ; the term could also mean "throne" or "place" of the sun god. The word Aten was written using the hieroglyphic sign for "god" because the Egyptians tended to personify certain expressions.

How do the motions of the sun and planets reflect the disk shape of the solar nebula?

The sun and planets orbit in the same plane, known as the ecliptic plane, which is a flat disk shape. This reflects the flat, disk-like shape of the original solar nebula from which they formed. The conservation of angular momentum in the collapsing nebula caused it to flatten into a disk, leading to the formation of the solar system in a similar disk shape.

Why is the Sun 332900 times the mass of the Earth?

When the solar system formed the vast majority of the mass fell right to the center and formed the sun. Less than 1% of the remaining mass formed a disk of gas and dust around the sun. Most of the mass of the disk was hydrogen and helium, which was blown out of the inner solar system by the solar wind. Most of the material left behind was rock and iron dust, which formed the four innermost planets and the asteroid belt. The greatest portion of the rock and metal went into forming Earth, though that still represented only a tiny portion of the mass of the original disk. Most of the matter in the disk around the sun went in to forming Jupiter.
