A Romance language is one that descends from Latin. There are many: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_languages
The major ones are: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and Romanian.
Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian come from Vulgar Latin, whereas Romanian comes from Classical Latin.
There are many more languages that come from Latin, like Catalan and Romansh. Go to the link I posted to learn more.
