Planets and stars have Greek names because of the influence of Greek astronomy and mythology on the Western world. Many of the names we use for celestial bodies, such as Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus, are derived from Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. This tradition has persisted over time, even as our understanding of the universe has evolved.
