Venus (Roman name of Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love)
Mars (Roman name of Ares, god of war)
Jupiter (Roman name of Zeus, god of lightning and thunder, chief of the gods)
Saturn (Roman name of Cronos, god of agriculture, father of the gods)
Uranus - the titan Sky, father of Cronos
Neptune (Roman name of Poseidon, god of the Ocean)
Pluto (Roman name of Hades, god of the Underworld)
You can also research on constellations, most are named after mythological characters, for example, Hydra from Hercules is a constellation.
