Answer 2

Moon

The name of our planet (Earth's) moon is simply MOON.

All the other planets have fancy names based on their discoveries or Greek mythology but our moon has no special name. This is because early astronomers didn't know that other moons orbited around other planets, and they named ours 'moon'. When they discovered other 'moons', they named them so as not to confuse them with our moon.

For more information on the naming of our moon and other moons, visit your local library and rent out the book: 'Moons of Space'.
