Why is it right to say the Sun the Earth The Moon but not the Jupiter the Mars the Mercury or The Ganymede?

It is not incorrect to refer to the other Solar bodies with the definate article "the," it is simply irregular. As we more commonly refer to the Sun, Earth, and Moon more often, and sun, earth, and moon are all common nouns as well, it is more specific to use the definate article "the" when refering to The Earth, The Sun, and The Moon when really referring to the more uncommonly used names Terra, Sol, and Luna (which incidentally are respectively earth, sun, and moon--the common nouns--in other languages).

Where is a moon named Ganymede?
Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter, and the largest moon in our solar system. It is 1500 times as massive as the dwarf planet/asteroid Ceres and larger in diameter than the planet Mercury. Had it not been co-formed with or captured by Jupiter, it would have been a planet in its own right. Had it formed closer to the Sun, it might have retained both its oceans (frozen over) and an atmosphere, but more likely would have lost them and ended up with a dry surface like Mars.
