The hieroglyphic for "sun" is a circle with a smaller circle inside of it. It is pronounced "ray", and the same symbol/pronunciation can also be used for the sun god, or Re, and daytime (this multi-definition thing is fairly common; the Egyptians seemed to rely heavily on context clues). If you wanted to write out "sun", which would be "Re" in Egyptian, you would use the "r" symbol, an oblong shape that looks ind of like the outline of an eye, and the "e" symbol, which looks like a feather with fringes only on the left side.
