Atom Icon
atom · Astronomy · 6 styles
Open the Astronomy set and Atom is one of the glyphs you get. It is one of 32 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Atom lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "atom", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
The metaphor here is the idea of space, planets, stars and celestial phenomena. That places Atom in the Astronomy family, which covers space, planets, stars and celestial phenomena and turns up in dark-mode toggles, onboarding illustrations, empty states and rating widgets. Teams building products that lean on a night-sky metaphor for themes and favourites reach for this set first. Use Atom where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Atom in 6 styles
Atom ships in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

There is no sprite sheet and no runtime registry lookup over the network. Import AtomBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for atom live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.
import { AtomBold, AtomBoldDuotone, AtomLinear, AtomOutline, AtomBroken, AtomLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy';import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { AtomBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy';
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [provideSolarIcons(AtomBold)]

Icons drawn alongside it in Astronomy include Star Fall Minimalistic2, Men, Stars Line, Rocket2, Asteroid, Star Fall Minimalistic, Infinity and Stars. They share stroke weight and corner radius with Atom, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.
Elsewhere in the library
Outside this category, Sort Vertical, Alarm Turn Off, Course Up, Link Broken Minimalistic, Round Alt Arrow Right and Treadmill Round cover neighbouring ideas; the name "atom" is 4 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Atom icon FAQ
- How do I use the atom icon in Angular?
- Import AtomBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy", register it with provideSolarIcons(AtomBold) and render <solar-icon name="atom" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Atom support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of atom?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Atom inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
