When 2 templates are in Config only one shows up

Configuration
1

Greetings-
If I put these 2 templates into my config file only one of them shows up.

The first template is to pull the Outside Temp from ecobee

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      outside_temp:
        friendly_name: "Outside Temp"
        unit_of_measurement: '°F'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('weather.downstairs', 'temperature') | int }}"

The second template is to get the Solar Angle from Sun

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      solar_angle:
        friendly_name: "Sun Angle"
        unit_of_measurement: '°'
        value_template: "{{ '%+.1f'|format(state_attr('sun.sun', 'elevation')) }}"

Thank you for your help!

If your using a single configuration file, then the top level domains (sensor in this case) can only appear once.

You can simply put these together under the same sensor domain -

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      outside_temp:
        friendly_name: "Outside Temp"
        unit_of_measurement: '°F'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('weather.downstairs', 'temperature') | int }}"
      solar_angle:
        friendly_name: "Sun Angle"
        unit_of_measurement: '°'
        value_template: "{{ '%+.1f'|format(state_attr('sun.sun', 'elevation')) }}"
