A
We know that Venus, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn are four planets in the solar system. But do you know where their English names originated（来源）from? Let's have a look.

Venus is the sixth largest planet as well as the hottest one in the solar system. Except（除……外）the Sun and Moon, Venus is the brightest star in the sky, just like a shinning diamond（钻石）. So the Romans call it Venus, the goddess（女神）of beauty.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Its surface is colorful, and it has a planetary（行星的）ring. Jupiter is the king of gods（神）in ancient Roman mythology（神话）.
Mercury is closer to the Sun than any other planet, and it is the smallest and lightest planet in the solar system. It usually appears along with the Sun. Mercury is a god that passes messages for other gods in ancient Roman mythology.
Saturn is the second biggest planet in the solar system. Saturn's rings are made of dust and ice. In Roman mythology, Saturn is the god of time, because this planet moves slowly.
