  1. All of them are except earth. Even the majority of the moons orbiting our planets are named after gods


  2. venus pluto jupiter uranus

  3. As you already heard - all of the planets are named after gods.

    What is weird is that all but Uranus are named for Roman gods (which are really the same of Greek gods but with different names); but Uranus is a greek god (father of chronos/saturn who was father of Zeus/jupiter)

    The moons tend to be named after Greek gods or mythical beings, except for Uranus, which has its moons names after Shakespeare characters!

  4. All of them are except earth. Even the majority of the moons orbiting our planets are named after gods. Even stars well some of them.

  5. All of them.  Even Earth, if you want to think of Earth as Gaia, the Greek Titan of Earth.

    Mercury - the messenger god.

    Venus - the godess of love.

    Earth/Gaia - the Titan of Earth.

    Mars - the god of war.

    Jupiter - the leader/father of the gods.

    Saturn - the god of agriculture.

    Uranus - the god of the sky.

    Neptune - the god of the sea.

    Pluto - the god of the underworld.

    .

  6. All of them except earth.
