What is the language of those words (sol, terra, luna). It does not seem to be a single language.

Spanish: Sol, tierra, luna

Italian: Sole, terra, luna

Catalan: Sol, terra, lluna

Portuguese: Sol, terra, lua

Might as well call it gelatto, siesta, fiesta if they think it sounds cool.

As you may have guessed, it's Latin.
I wonder what those languages all stem from...
What a tantalising mystery there is here waiting to be solved!
Honestly, I speak a few languages and it did not ocur to me. I deserve the snark, but downvotes?
Latin.
