No Government can claim any celestial body as their own because of a treaty signed in 1967. It explicitly forbids any government from claiming a celestial resource such as the Moon or a planet.

Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies
Bureau of Arms Control
Signed at Washington, London, Moscow, January 27, 1967
Entered into force October 10, 1967
Article II
Outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means

Who owns Sol?

As I said I am not sure! And I have heard that someone did sell (I doent know what it is on english but) Lot's like a house lot... if you understand. But this was not legal so the man that did this was aressted. But I mean that No one owns the moon or Mars
