Baal was the sun God. That's not correct, either. There were actually several "Baals", none of which were "sun gods". I know that reference is only wikipedia, but it should provide a good start toward actually learning something.

LOL Baal means "master" or "lord". The main god for all pagans was "Baal Ra" over all the lesser gods. Baal was the sun god of the Canaanites and Phoenicians, whose worship spread to the ancient Jews. The Philistines had Baal Dagon who's priests wore the same hat as Catholic priests. There is even Baʿal Zəvûv or
Beelzebub as mentioned in scripture.
