what is the roman and greek name for uranus?
492703
The planets were originally named by the Romans after their gods' names. However, they only knew the planets until Saturn, which is the farthest planet from Earth that can be observed by the naked human eye. Because of that, Uranus has the name of the Greek god of sky Ουρανός (Ouranos), instead of its correspondent in the roman mythology, Caelus.

Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus. Venus has a lot of gas on it, but it actually has a inner core and crust just like the earth does. Pluto is thought to be either an astroid or comet caught by the suns gravity. Something else that's cool is Neptune and Uranus both have rings around them just like Saturn does.

You can use the name "Athena", the Greek God of Wisdom.\n\nOr the name "Sophia", the Roman God of Wisdom.

Greek, the Romans copied the greek gods and goddesses, and just gave them different names.  my favorite was Athena...goddess of wisdom

The name retained for the planet is that of the Roman god Pluto, and it is also intended to evoke the initials of the astronomer Percival Lowell, who predicted that a planet would be found beyond Neptune. The name was first suggested by Venetia Burney, at the time an eleven-year-old girl from Oxford, England. Over the breakfast table, one morning her grandfather, who worked at Oxford University's Bodleian Library, was reading about the discovery of the new planet in the Times newspaper. He asked his granddaughter what she thought would be good name for it. Venetia thought that as it was so cold and so distant it should be named after the Roman God of the underworld. Professor Herbert Hall Turner cabled his colleagues in America with this suggestion, and after favourable consideration which was almost unanimous, the name Pluto was officially adopted and an announcement made by Slipher on May 1, 1930

The greeks developed much of the basics of science, math, philosophy and government that we have today.  The planets are named either from the greek or roman names for the olympian gods.  Many words come from greek.  The fastest god, Hermes, or Mercury who was the messenger god is where we get the modern name for element number 80 formerly known as quick silver.  Everyone knows who cupid is.  The greek name for cupid is Eros from which we get the term erotic.  The early space missions were named after the gods mercury and apollo.  Many of the constellations are named for characters in greek myths such as pegasus, orion and cassiopea.  \n\nmuch of our culture comes from the classic greek and roman socities and their early democracies and knowing the stories tells us about their lives and civilizations, their values and customs.  For example one continuing theme in greek mythology is a hero is often struck down for thinking himself equal to the gods, a sin called huberis.  One of the themes is that man has a place beneath gods.  Perhaps this is a way to keep a people in line and perhaps some of our modern judeo christian myths are designed to do the same.  When the god Prometheus defied the king of the gods Zeus by giving man fire he was kicked out of heaven and bound to a rock where vultures ate him alive.  but being immortal he would heal every day and go through the same horror again.  when Lucifer challenged the throne of God he was cast down into Hell.  When Jonas refused to follow God's instruction he got to spend some quality time learning about the digestive tract of a whale.\n\n   Some myths talk about the Greek idea of heroism.  Odysseus, while traped on circe's island is offered immortality and rejects it on the grounds that what good is bravery if he can't die.

Uranus surface temp is probably 99.6 degrees.  It's normally a little warmer than an under the tongue reading.

i think this is a more practical way of appreciating it: compare gravitation on uranus and the earth using your body weight: go to the link below, type in your weight, then voila! - you get your weight on uranus!\n\nif you just want the numbers and plain facts (i.e., weight = mass x gravity, so you might want to check out mass and gravity, etc.), browse the facts and figures part of the site.

Odysseus is a character in both Greek and Roman myths, except one group know him as Odysseus and the other as Ulysses. The same sort of thing applies to their Gods, Neptune=Poseidon

Uranus was the father of 12 titans. \n\nUranus is the Latinized form of Ouranos, the Greek word for sky. In Greek mythology Uranus was the son and husband of Gaia the Earth. The couple were the ancestors of most of the Greek gods.\n\nIn the Olympian creation myth, as Hesiod tells it in Theogony, Uranus came every single night to cover the earth and mate with Gaia, but he hated the children she bore him. Hesiod names the Titans, six sons and six daughters, the one-hundred-armed giants (Hecatonchires) and the one-eyed giants, the Cyclopes. He imprisoned Gaia's youngest children in Tartarus, deep within Earth, where they caused pain to Gaia. She shaped a great flint-bladed sickle and asked her sons to castrate Uranus. Only Cronus, youngest of the Titans, was willing: he ambushed his father and castrated him, casting the severed testicles into the sea. From the blood which spilled from Uranus onto the Earth came forth the Gigantes, the three avenging Furies—the Erinyes— Meliae, ash-tree nymphs, and according to some the Telchines. From the genitals in the sea came forth Aphrodite. Some say the bloodied sickle was buried in the earth and from this was born the fabulous Phaeacian tribe. For this fearful deed, Uranus called his sons Titanes Theoi, or "Straining Gods"-

"Saturn", the planet, was named after the Roman god Saturn -- their god of Agriculture.  However, about 200 BC when the Romans encountered the more sophisticated Greek deities, he was considered to be another name for Cronos, the father and ruler of the Titans (the series of gods that preceeded the Olympian gods such as Jupiter or Zeus).  Cronos, in turn, was combined with "Chronos" -- with an H -- which means "time".  Thus this name was pinned on the planet, the most remote of the visible planets, because it takes longer (30 years) to complete its orbit than any other.

The official name for the planet Earth, as set by the International Astronomical Union, is Terra, after the Roman goddess Terra Mater.

Super Solar System!\n\nPower Planets!\n\nAwesome Uranus! (just kidding)\n\nSuper-Model of the Stars\n\nThe Divine 9 (or if we're not counting pluto anymore..)\n\nThe Great 8\n\nThe Sun and Pals\n\nI don't know.. thats all my creative energy.. lol

Saturn.\n\nJust kidding.  It's Jupiter.

Jupiter is bigger, Saturn is prettier, Venus has more gas, but I adore Uranus.

A Jovian (Juputer-like) planet is another term for a gas giant, i.e. one of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto is not a gas giant, and the question should not list it that way. It is a cold lump of rock and ice.\n\nSo the answer to the question "which of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune has the largest axial tilt?" is Uranus.\n\nAnd this what Wikipedia has to say about it:\n\n"Axial tilt\nOne of the most distinctive features of Uranus is its axial tilt of ninety-eight degrees. Consequently, for part of its orbit one pole faces the Sun continually while the other pole faces away. At the other side of Uranus' orbit the orientation of the poles towards the Sun is reversed. Between these two extremes of its orbit the Sun rises and sets around the equator normally.\n\nAt the time of Voyager 2's passage in 1986, Uranus' south pole was pointed almost directly at the Sun. \n\nOne result of this orientation is that the polar regions of Uranus receive a greater energy input from the Sun than its equatorial regions. Uranus is nevertheless hotter at its equator than at its poles, although the underlying mechanism which causes this is unknown. \n\nThe reason for Uranus' extreme axial tilt is also not known. It is speculated that during the formation of the Solar System, an Earth sized protoplanet collided with Uranus, causing the skewed orientation.\n\nIt appears that Uranus' extreme axial tilt also results in extreme seasonal variations in its weather. During the Voyager 2 flyby, Uranus' banded cloud patterns were extremely bland and faint. \n\nRecent Hubble Space Telescope observations, however, show a more strongly banded appearance now that the Sun is approaching Uranus' equator. By 2007 the Sun will be directly over Uranus' equator."

The planet Mercury was named after a roman "god", he was the messenger of the gods. He's the one with wings on his feet and a helmet with wings. The element mercury was named after this planet. Mercury was known for speed and mobility, which is probably why the planet (which is the fastest around the sun) and the element (which has mobility compared to other elements) are named after him.
