It’s pronounced you-RON-us. Also, which Roman god is Earth named after?
It's not. It's just named after dirt.
I know, that was my point. The comment I was replying to said “all the other planets are named after Roman gods”.
Ah. Yes, they meant all the other discovered planets are.
How is Earth not a discovered planet? Discovering it was one of the first things I did after being born.
Oh come on
Because it was "discovered" long before we even knew what a planet was.
