Hello Suki Desu friends, in this article we are going to learn the names of the planets and some expressions in the Japanese language. You will see how ideograms give a wealth of understanding of the universe in the Japanese language. Just like the days of the week, the universe in Japanese is composed of the ideograms of the elements of nature.
Most planets are initially written with an element or kanji that defines the planet and its chemical composition, followed by the kanji star (星) that can indicate a planet as well.
It makes perfect sense since stars are just planets, and sometimes they are bigger than the sun itself. Even “Planet” (惑星) in Japanese literally means false star.

The names of the planets are related to Roman mythology. The last planets, king of the skies, king of the seas and the dark king is further proof of this.
