None, or possibly one. Six planets, and dwarf planet Pluto, are named after Roman gods.
Uranus is named for the primal Greek sky deity Ouranos, father of the Titans and husband of Gaia, the Earth goddess.
Here are the Greek equivalents to Roman gods:
Greek Zeus, Jupiter in Roman: Jove Lord of the Sky, Gods, and Thunder, also Rain-god, Cloud-gatherer
Greek Hera, Juno in Roman: Protector of Marriage
Greek Poseidon, Neptune in Roman: Ruler of the Sea
Greek Hades/Polydectes, Pluto in Roman: God of the Underworld and Precious Metals
Greek Pallas/Athena, Minerva in Roman: Goddess of the City, Education/Science, and War

None. However, when the Romans heard about the Greek gods, they adopted the same gods and gave them different names. These names are the names of our planets. The Romans also slightly changed the gods personalities, making them more warlike. Here's a list of the Roman names for the Greek gods.
Zeus - Jupiter
Hades - Pluto
Poseidon - Neptune
Hermes - Mercury
Aphrodite - Venus
Ares - Mars
Artemis - Diana
Athena - Minerva
Demeter - Ceres
Apollo - Apollo
Hephaestus - Vulcan
Hera - Juno
Hestia - Vesta
Dionysus - Bacchus
Kronos - Saturn ( Even though Kronos was a titan in Greek mythology, i still included him because his Roman name is Saturn.)
Uranus is the god who originally personified the sky, but later Jupiter also filled that role. in fact, while Ouranos (Uranus) means "sky" in Greek, Jupiter is derived from Indo-European roots that mean "daytime sky father" (shared by the Greek version, Zeus).
The planet Mercury is named after the Roman messenger god, who was known as Hermes in Greek mythology.
Venus === === === === Venus was named after a roman goddess, but it is just a counterpart from the greek goddess, Aphrodite. xVx
The planets in our solar system are all named after Roman gods (or goddess in one case, Venus).
Jupiter= Zeus
Neptune= Poseidon
Pluto= Hades
Juno= Hera
Mars= Ares
Mercury= Hermes
The single Greek god who held the title of 'Lord of the Sky' was Zeus. His Roman equivalent is Jupiter, which the large planet Jupiter is named after.
Most of the planets have been named for Greek or Roman gods, plus dozens of asteroids and minor planets.
