There are five planets in the night sky that can be seen with the naked eye. The Romans gave them names of their gods and goddesses. Jupiter was the king of the Roman gods, so his name was given to the biggest planet visible in the Solar System. Another name is Jove. It means 'bright'. In Cornwall we use this name for one day of the week (Thursday). The next in size is Saturn, the god of agriculture - a slow traveller, around the sun in 29 years. We like his day, Saturday! The Romans called the red planet after their god of war, Mars. We use this name for a month (March) as well as for a day of the week (Tuesday). The plant Mercury travels fast, around the sun in only 88 days. Mercury was the fleet-footed messenger of the gods. That gives us a day of the week (Wednesday). But where are the goddesses? There is only one. The brightest planet (the evening star or morning star) was given the name of Venus, the goddess for love and beauty. Friday is a good day as well.
