Chloe+W+The+Planets

This is my Planet Page!!!

There are 9 planet in our Solar System. From what I heard some of the planets are named after Roman gods and titans:

Jupiter is named after Jupiter a Roman god. In Greek form Jupiter name changes - Zeus the Greek God of the Havens - this goes with all the Titans and Gods. Saturn is named after Saturn a Roman titan. In Greek, Saturn is a titan, Kronos. Also a horrible father to his 3 sons (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades). Venus is named after Venus a Roman Goddess. In Greek Venus is Aphrodite the Goddess of love and beauty.

And so on...

Mercury = Hermes the God of Messengers and Thieves. Mars = Ares the god of War. Earth = Mother Earth. In Greek Mythology Mother Earth also known as Gaia, who got her own son to chop up his father (Uranus also known as the sky). Uranus = Uranus, well they had to name a planet after the sky, because his wife got one when Gaia didn't deserve it. Neptune = Poseidon the god of the Seas. Pluto = Hades the god of the Underground. Juno = Hera goddess of Marriage and Family.

And if you ever get stuck naming the planets or forgetting where they are in the solar system try and remember this: My = Mercury Very = Venus Easy = Earth Method = Mars Just = Jupiter Speeds = Saturn Up = Uranus Naming = Neptune Planets = Pluto
