In my astronomy class I give a handout of planet symbols, where theyMars
came from, and what they mean. Kids always are curious. For example,
was named for the Roman god of war. The symbol is a circle with an
arrow, indicating a shield and spear. I have a few questions.
1. What was Earth named for?
2. What was the Sun named for? Its symbol is a circle with a dot in
the center. What does it mean?
3. How about the Moon? Named after anything?
