NinePizzasHowtoremembertheorderoftheeightplanetsaroundthesun?EarthJupiterMarsMercuryNeptuneSaturnUranusVenus水星最接近太陽，是太陽系中第二小行星。水星的英文名字Mercury來自羅馬神墨丘利。墨丘利也就是希臘神話中的Hermes。或許由于水星在空中移動(dòng)得快，才使它得到這個(gè)名字。

金星是離太陽第二近，太陽系中第六大行星。古希臘人稱之為Aphrodite(阿芙羅狄蒂)，是希臘神話中愛與美的女神。而在羅馬神話中愛與美的女神是維納斯—Venus，因此金星也稱做“維納斯”。

地球是距太陽第三顆，它是太陽系類地行星中最大的一顆，也是太陽系第五大行星，行星年齡估計(jì)大約有45億年(4.5×109)。地球是唯一一個(gè)不是從希臘或羅馬神中得到的名字。Earth一詞來自于古英語及日耳曼語。這里當(dāng)然有許多其他語言的命名。在羅馬神話中，地球女神叫Tellus－肥沃的土地。

火星為距太陽第四遠(yuǎn)，也是太陽系中第七大行星。因?yàn)榛鹦窃谝箍罩锌雌饋硎茄t色的，所以在西方，以羅馬神話中的戰(zhàn)神Mars命名它。

木星是離太陽第五顆行星，而且是最大的一顆。木星是天空中第四亮的物體。木星是自轉(zhuǎn)最快的行星。在西方稱它為朱庇特—Jupiter，是羅馬神話中的眾神之王，相當(dāng)于希臘神話中的宙斯（Zeus）。

土星是離太陽第六遠(yuǎn)的行星。是太陽系中僅次于木星的第二大行星。中國古代稱之為鎮(zhèn)星或填星。土星的英文名字Saturn（以及其他絕大部分歐洲語言中的土星名稱）是以羅馬神的農(nóng)神薩杜恩命名的。希臘神話中的農(nóng)神Cronus是Uranus（天王星）和該亞的兒子，也是宙斯的父親。

天王星是太陽系中離太陽第七遠(yuǎn)行星，顏色為灰藍(lán)色，是一顆巨型氣體行星(GasGiant)。以直徑計(jì)算，天王星是太陽系第三大行星；天王星的命名，是取自希臘神話的天神烏拉諾斯—Uranus。烏拉諾斯是古希臘神話中的宇宙之神，是最早的至高無上的神。他是該亞的兒子兼配偶，是Cronus（農(nóng)神土星）、獨(dú)眼巨人和泰坦（奧林匹斯山神的前輩）的父親。

海王星為太陽系九大行星中的第八個(gè)，是一個(gè)巨行星。海王星。目前海王星是太陽系內(nèi)離太陽第二遠(yuǎn)的行星。海王星的名字是羅馬神話中的海神涅普頓（Neptune）。古希臘神話中海神叫波塞冬(Poseidon)。
