Helium is named after the Greek word for the Sun, selenium comes from the Greek word for the Moon. Uranium, neptunium, and plutonium are named after Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Mercury is, of course, named after Mercury. Cerium and palladium are named after the asteroids Ceres and Pallas.

That's only eight, but there's also tellurium, which comes from the Latin word tellus, meaning Earth.

There are 8 planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto was formally considered a planet until it was recategorized as a dwarf planet. There are four other dwarf planets in the solar system: Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.

Beyond our solar system there are over 900 known planets orbiting other stars.

The planets of our solar system were named in ancient times, both by the Greeks and the Romans, after mythological characters. In fact the word 'planet' in the Greek language means "wandering star." To the Greeks and Romans (Greco-Romans) there were seven known planets, each presumed to be circling the Earth according to the complex laws laid out by Ptolemy. They were, in increasing order from Earth (in Ptolemy's order): the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

By the 20th century, continuing with the convention of mythological names, astronomers came up with 9 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

By the 21st century, the announcement of Eris in 2005, an object 27% more massive than Pluto, created the necessity and public desire for an official definition of a planet. So astronomers then declassified Pluto as a non-planetary body in 2006, and there now remain 8 official planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

There are four elements that are named after things in space. However, they are all named after a god/dess which the body in space was named after too. All the elements named after these bodies are either Lanthanides or Actinides and 3 of the 4 are radioactive. Here they are:

Cerium (Ce) - Atomic No. 58 - Lanthanide

Uranium (U) - Atomic No. 92 - Actinide - Radioactive

Neptunium (Np) - Atomic No. 93 - Actinide - Radioactive

Plutonium (Pu) - Atomic No. 94 - Actinide - Radioactive

How could you combine the following two questions into one question Ex- Who KnowsDoes the universe have nine planets Is it - Who Knows if the universe has nine planets or?

Those are both poorly worded versions of the same question. The question should read:"Does the universe have nine planets?"And the answer is:"No. The Universe has trillions and trillions of planets, but our solar system has eight planets."
