AnswerBecause that time they only thought of god and nobody else that was the greek time, so the planets are named after a god!!!!!The Romans and Greeks associated planets with certain gods for Astrological purposes. For a long time scientists used Latin in formal writings so kept the names the Romans used for the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
