Planets are named using a combination of mythology, history, and cultural significance. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) approves names based on criteria that reflect each planet's characteristics. For example, Mercury is named after the Roman messenger god, while Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love. The process involves public input and consideration of historical figures, scientific concepts, and more.
