Names of the Planets in Our Solar System in Russian

In Russian, the names of the planets in our solar system are as follows:

• Меркурий (Mercury)
• Венера (Venus)
• Земля (Earth)
• Марс (Mars)
• Юпитер (Jupiter)
• Сатурн (Saturn)
• Уран (Uranus)
• Нептун (Neptune)

In addition to meaning ‘Earth,’ the word ‘земля’ can also mean ‘land’ or ‘ground.’ This broader definition encompasses not just the entire planet but also the soil, terrain, or surface of the Earth. The word with this meaning is written with a lowercase letter, while the name of the planet is written with an uppercase letter.”

All other planets received their names in honor of the gods and goddesses of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece. In Russian, the names of these gods sound the same as the names of the planets listed above.
