The way people think about the universe, how it works, and how big it is has evolved over time. Humans had little or no understanding of the universe for countless lifetimes. Instead, our forefathers relied on legend to explain the origins of everything. The myths reflect human concerns, hopes, aspirations, or fears, rather than the nature of reality, because they were created by our forefathers. Humans began to apply mathematics, writing, and new investigative principles to the search for knowledge several centuries ago. Those principles, as well as scientific tools, were refined over time, eventually revealing clues about the nature of the universe.

Mercury is our solar system's smallest planet and the closest to the sun. The tiny planet has no moon and orbits the sun faster than any other planet, which is why the Romans named it after their swift-footed messenger god. Mercury was also known to the Sumerians at least 5,000 years ago. According to a site connected to NASA's MESSENGER (Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging) mission, it was frequently associated with Nabu, the god of writing. Mercury was...

Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the solar system's second-largest planet. It's the farthest planet from Earth visible to the naked eye, but its most notable features — its rings — are best seen through a telescope. Although the other gas giants in the solar system, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, all have rings, Saturn's rings stand out the most, earning it the moniker "Ringed Planet."

Venus' orbit is closer to the Sun than Earth's, so the planet is always roughly in the same direction in the sky as the Sun and can only be seen near sunrise or sunset.

Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system. The Romans named the Red Planet after their god of war, which suited the planet's bloody hue. In reality, the Romans copied the ancient Greeks, who named the planet Ares after their god of war. Other civilizations also gave the planet names based on its colour, such as the Egyptians, who named it "Her Desher," which means "the red one," and ancient Chinese astronomers, who dubbed it "the fire star."Mars' bright rust colour is due to iron-rich minerals in its regolith, which is the loose dust and rock that covers its surface. Earth's soil is also a type of regolith, albeit one with a high organic content. The iron minerals oxidise, or rust, causing the soil to appear red, according to NASA.
