Why did the astronomers name the planets in our solar system after ancient gods?
Kidalicious
Because that time they only thought of god and nobody else that was the greek time, so the planets are named after a god!!!!!
The Romans and Greeks associated planets with certain gods for Astrological purposes. For a long time scientists used Latin in formal writings so kept the names the Romans used for the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. When Neptune, Uranus and Pluto were discovered the names were chosen just to be 'in keeping' with the other planets.Wiki User
