Surely it's size based: Sun (Sol) > Earth (Terra) > Moon (Luna)

Similar to Anthropic's size/length based naming: Opus > Sonnet > Haiku

These names seem easy to understand to me, and much clearer than suffixes like -max and -plus.

I'd agree it is similar to Anthropic's naming scheme, which I'd argue shares the same problems as this. It improves marketability/googlability, but decreases actual comprehension.

You don't actually explain why or how these names are "easy to understand" just state that they simply are. That's great; to me, they aren't obvious or intuitive at all. May have well just start randomly pointing at dictionary words.
