What is the word in greek for green planet?

Answer 1

planet = πλανήτης [planitis] from πλανήτης αστήρ [astir] = wandering star.

From πλανάσθαι [planasthae] = "to wander". So called because they have apparent motion, unlike the "fixed" stars. Originally including also the moon and sun.

Answer 2

The Greeks did not know about any but the first 6 planets (if you include Earth). Here however are the names for the planets they did know about:

• Mercury - Greek = Hermes, the messenger of the gods - older name was Stilbon, the gleaming
• Venus - Greek = Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, older name was Phosphoros, bringer of light
• Earth - Greek = Gaia, mother earth
• Mars - Greek = Ares, the God of War, also known as Areos aster, star of Ares
• Jupiter - Greek = Zeus, king of gods
• Saturn - Greek = Kronos, the god of agriculture

The planets were actually named after the Greek gods in their Roman form. For example, some of the planets were Jupiter (Zeus), Pluto (Hades), Mars (Ares), Mercury (Hermes), Venus (Aphrodite), Saturn (Demeter), Neptune (Poseidon, and Ouranos (Uranus). Earth is the only planet that is not named after a Greek/Roman god or goddess
