I thought of joule at first too, but the definition didn't immediately connect with "sun". Here's the WikiPedia entry:
"The joule (symbol J) is a derived unit of energy or work in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy expended (or work done) in applying a force of one newton through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N*m), or in passing an electric current of one ampere through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818-1889)."
