    I'm 10 years old and doing a report on the Solar System. Does anyone know how they came up with the name of the planet Uranus?(Which Roman or Greek god and why)

    Hi,

    You might find this site interesting for your report on the solar system:

    The Nine Planets
    http://www.seds.org/billa/tnp/
    -> Mirror: http://www.dkrz.de/mirror/tnp/nineplanets.html

    (There are 50 mirror sites, this is the one I use).

    You'll find information there on mythology of the names, and ofcourse all relevant physical information.

    Bye!

    Crisp
