Yes, they called it Sol. However this was the Latin word for sun. The Romans never worshiped the sun as a separate god as the Egyptians did, although the god Apollo, in some of his aspects was considered a sun-god.

What do the Romans call the sun?
The Sol Invictus. The unconquered sun
What name did the Romans and Greeks call the sun?
Helios, Ἥλιος. For the most part, things like the sun are named for the gods that represent them (or vice versa). Fun fact, in that Greek word there, the H is the E sound and that little thing on the front makes the H sound; its rough breathing, but it sounds a bit like an H sound. Most people think that it signifies words that used to start with S, the reasoning being that if you make an S sound and gradually lower your tongue, it turns into an H sound.
What did the romans wear on their head?
It depends really, this question is rather broad but I shall try my best. Roman Politicians would wear a green wreath around their head. While farmers would wear basic straw/grass hats. While the military (depending on your rank) would wear combat helmets or ceremonial ones.

What was pantheon dedicated to all?
There are several buildings called Pantheon. The word translates as All Gods. If you are talking about the existing massive one in Rome, it has niches for seven statues (long disappeared). This plus the cupola representing the sky indicates it was for the seven 'planets' that the Romans knew of at the time (including the sun and the moon). So the All Gods were the planetary ones. One niche has a more prominent pedistal, so it was likely for Juppiter Optimus Maximus (Jupiter Best and Greatest).
