Celestia Forums

just a simple question:
why our sun is called "sol" in celestia? sol is the name of sun in spanish

It's the Latin name, too. Some people use that so as to match the names of the planets, which are all Latin - they'd also perhaps say "Terra" for the Earth and "Luna" for the Moon.

Sol is the universal, official astronomical name of our homestar - so I belive it's much more correct to call it "Sol" then "The Sun".
