Why all the planets on our milkyway galaxy have Greek names?can u name your favorite planet name?

theater... gets it all wrong.


Here we go:


Mercury = Hermes


Venus = Aphrodite


Earth = no Greek name; it would be Gaia


Mars = Ares


Jupiter = Zeus


Saturn = Chronos


Uranus = Uranos


Neptune = Poseidon


Pluto = Pluton/ Hades


Thus the names on the left are Latin/ Roman, the ones on the left are Greek


I like the name 'Pluto' because it is at the farthest reaches of the solar system.
