Splendor means great beauty, brightness, or grandness — the kind of impressive beauty that makes people stop and stare. You can talk about the splendor of a palace, a sunset, or a ceremony. It is a strong, rather formal word — you would not use it for your lunch, but you might use it for a wedding, a mountain view, or an old temple. British English usually spells it 'splendour'; American English spells it 'splendor.'
