Most of the planets in our solar system are named after both roman and greek gods. For example: Neptune is the name of the greek god of the sea, Venus is the name of the roman god of loveand so on. (For future referance) Pluto is no longer a planet or dwarf planet, it is now refferred to as a plutoid. Also, the planets of the Solar system are named after the Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses: Hermes/ Mercury, Aphrodite/ Venus, Ares/ Mars, Zeus/ Jupiter, Kronos/ Saturn, Uranus, Posidon/ Neptune and Hades/ Pluto in order of their orbit. The first God and Goddess were Uranus and Gaia. Kronos and Rhea were their successors. Zeus son of Kronos and Rhea was the leading God of the Ancient times along with his family memebrs (brothers, sisters, sons and daughters).
