because they are usually named after someone
because there are so many different variations of scientific names.
Scientific names typically consist of two parts: the genus and the species. This binomial system of naming organisms was developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century. So, scientific names have two names - the genus name and the species name.
Many do, some are pending scientific names.
It provides a way to communicate names in a global language so that scientists worldwide will understand.
Scientific names are based on biological and evolutionary relationships.
Everyone in the world has to have a name other wise the world would be so confusing no one would know who is who!
Scientific names contain information about organisms.
The leaf of the plant has the same scientific name as the plant itself. Scientific names are given to organisms as a whole, so leaves, stems, varying appendages in animals, etc., do not have different scientific names than the organism as a whole.
Using scientific names makes it more easier for people to understand it. If were to say go and get me a thing that you can see stars with up close. That would be confusing to some people because they have no idea what you are talking about. So instead of describing the scientific tool, say what it is. If you don't know what it is and someone asks you about it, then instead of giving them a wrong answer or saying you don't know, ask a parent or older person to help you and that other person who might know what it means to help you and that other person.

Yes, all organisms have scientific names. Thus planarians have scientific names too.
That IS the scientific name.
