Why are earthquakes called earthquakes when Earth is not the only planet to have them?
'Earthquake' refers to the movement of ground caused by tectonic actions. It is not dependent on the term Earth used to describe the planet, merely the material it is composed of.
The term can be applied to other celestial bodies as easily as it is to ours; however 'moonquake' is sometimes used instead for describing similar events on natural moons.

Can weather start Earthquakes?
Well, not really. There are solar flares, so things do change within the sun, but there is no land, no tectonic plates, and therefore no earthquakes in the way we understand them on Earth. There are vibrations within the sun's interior causing the propagation of waves, the study of which is known as Helioseismology but as noted above they are not really comparable to seismic activity on Earth.
