The god of thunder in Roman mythology is Jupiter, more commonly known by his Greek mythology counterpart (they are both the same character). When the Romans took over the Greek empire, the cultures diffused. The stories/myths of the Greeks were passed on to the Romans, who gave the characters Roman names.
I believe seven of the eight current planets of our solar systems are named after Roman gods, the exclusion being Earth.
