The two other common names for celestial bodies are planets and moons. Planets are large objects that orbit around stars, while moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets.
Spacerocks I just learned that in sixth grade.

Yes - all planets names begin with a capital letter.
The only planets without moons are Mercury and Venus, the planets closest to the sun.

The Outer planets are often referred to as Gaseous planets. The others are the "inner planets" or rocky planets.

Going outward the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
The easily visible planets have had different names given by different civilizations and cultures. The Romans named Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn after their gods and these names were adopted by the Europeans. When Uranus was discovered several names were proposed. Johann Bode, an astronomer, wanted the name to match the mythological names given the other planets and so it was done. When Neptune was discovered it was named by the informal consent of scientists.
