The English Words Sun and Sol in Your Language
Aurinko is indeed a peculiar word. The rinko part could possibly be borrowed from proto-germanic and mean ring but I don't have a clue where the Au part comes from. In hebrew Aur means light and light-ring would be a logical name for the sun but then again it would be quite absurd to think ancient Finns had any contact with ancient Hebrews.

Quite. We should clarify though that Σελήνη is specifically Earth's moon, not what we'd call a natural moon of any planet; that would be φεγγάρι (fegari or fengari). Naturally though we often use the word φεγγάρι to refer to "our" moon. Σελήνη is what you'd call in English Selene. It's the Greek goddess of the moon (Romans called her Luna). Wikipedia says Selene is also used in English as an alternative name for Earth's moon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selene_%28disambiguation%29).
As to the sun, in astronomy every sun is called ήλιος (ilios) or αστέρας (asteras), and our sun is also Ήλιος, like Elen said.
