Here's why this connection exists:
* Roman Mythology: Saturn was the Roman god of agriculture, time, and harvest. He was known for his role in overthrowing his father Uranus (the sky god) and becoming the king of the Titans.
* Greek Mythology: Cronus was the Greek equivalent of Saturn. He also overthrew his father, Uranus, and became the king of the Titans. He was known for devouring his children out of fear of being overthrown himself.
* Ancient Astronomy: The ancient Romans observed the planets and named them after their gods. Saturn was the sixth planet from the sun and was known for its slow movement across the sky. This slow, deliberate movement was associated with Saturn's character in Roman mythology.
したがって、惑星の土星は、惑星を神と結びつけるという古代ローマの実践のために、ギリシャの神クロノスと同等のローマの神土星にちなんで名付けられました。
