who named mars?

Answer 1

Being visible to the naked eye, it was actually the Romans themselves who named this planet. Other civilizations had other names for it, but...We stuck with the Roman one.

Answer 2

The planet Mars was named after the Roman god of war. The Greeks called him Ares.

The Mars (chocolate) bar was named after Frank Mars, founder of Mars Incorporated, in 1936.

In 1992, Ben Bova published a book called Mars. It is part of the Grand Tour novel series.

At least two movies, a New Wave band, a rap group, and two record albums have had Mars as their titles.

Answer 3

Mars (IPA: /ˈmɑɹz/ (GenAm); /ˈmɑːz/ (RP)) is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system and is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. Mars is also known as the "Red Planet" due to its reddish appearance when seen from Earth. The prefix areo-, from the Greek god of war, Ares, refers to Mars in the same way geo- refers to Earth.

Answer 4

MARS was given its official name by Alfred E. Newman way back in the 50's and 60's.

Answer 5

A scientist named it after the Greek or Roman god (can't remember which) Mars, who is the god of warfare, because of its blood red color.

Answer 6

I think it was people in ancient times. Scientists started naming planets once they discovered either Uranus or Neptune but kept with Roman names. Too bad Pluto isn't a Planet anymore.
