31.+The+Craziest+Moon+or+Planet+Name4

**The craziest moon and planet award goes to Mars.** If there was a list of the most craziest planet and moon names. Mars would be at the top. Mars was actually named after a greek god. Mars has two moons Phobos and Deimos. Both of the moons on Mars were also named after a greek gods and goddesses. Weird names I know.

When you hear someone say Uranus's lovely name...**you laugh your head off and smile big:D** Actually, it was named after the Greek God or Deity of the Heavens! But, even before that it was named Georgium Sidus and Herschel! Weird names, right? It was the first planet discovered in modern times so we also have the first named planet!!!!! **OWWWNNN!!!!**! Also, did you know that its 27 moons are either named after Greek people, people who discovered them or......**WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE!!! WHAT NOW!! WE HAVE A FAMOUS PERSON NAMING SOME OF ARE MOONS!! OHH!! (snap!)** Here are some examples: -Miranda -Ariel -Umbriel -Juliet -Titania -Cordelia -Desdemona -Cupid -Puck -Mab -Francisco -Sycorax .......**:P** I believe Uranus just made you cry yourself to sleep because you know you can't beat this!!!
 * //This award goes too....Uranus! //**

** Venus **

You want to know about a funky planet name? Like a name COMPLETELY ironic. Are you sure? Okay, well it's the planet we're learning about, Venus. I'm sure you know what Venus means, the god of beauty and love, blah, blah, blah... Well, the planet Venus, is the EXACT opposite. Right now if you were on the planet of Venus I'm FAIRLY certain you would feel ugly. Wait, what am I talking about.. you'd be DEAD.

Yes, I said it, DEAD. The atmosphere is 90 times thicker than earth's. You'd be crushed to death. But if that isn't good enough for you than you would get picked up by the crazy winds and get thrown into the side of the many, many, MANY volcanoes. Is that a pretty image? I have more so don't cry. It's possible that with the weather on Venus today, and everyday of 827 degrees Fahrenheit you'd catch on fire. OH!, but don't worry the acid rain would put that out... and melt your skin. So, Venus? OBVIOUSLY the wrong name for this planet.

__** JUPITER! **__ So you think your planet/moon has a weird name? Well we have a chance at 65 weird names! 1 Planet and 64 moons. Beat that suckers! Jupiter has so many moons they still haven't finished naming them all! Here's a few just for taste. -lo -sponde -karpo -erinome -metia -leda -harpalyke -pasithee -kalyke -kallichore -Jupiter 23

**So honestly, who names a planet "makemake"? I don't even know how to say that! It's sounds like some hawaiian street dance. Makemake is the god of fertility and the creator of humans in Rapa Nui mythology. Since it was discovered soon after Easter in 2005, astronomers nicknamed it "Easterbunny". If you think your planet has a weird name, you obviously haven't checked out mine, because this planet's name trumps all of yours. 'Nuff said.**

 * As you may know some planets have really weird names. I don't how or why they made these names because it seems weird to have different names for the planets. like for example some of the names I found: Saturnus, Cronus. now those are some weird names for the planet Saturn! Would you have ever though of these name?? well i know i wouldn' ** [[image:images.jpeg width="63" height="29" align="right"]] ** t have. **

The CRAZIEST planet name!!!! Kay so how many of you think you're planet is the best? (Namewise) Well if you think that you are dead wrong! HA! Mercury was named after the Roman messenger Mercury because they admired Mercurys quickness as it traveled around the planets. So our planet is a very inspiring planet! We could be a motivational speaker we are so inspiring! HAHAHA!
