The sun emblem is the 'Sun of May'; it is a symbol of freedom and independence. The nine stripes represent the nine provinces of Uruguay, which existed at the time of the flags creation.
Fun fact: The colors of the Uruguay flag were inspired by the flag of Argentina; while the United States national flag influenced the design.
