Explanation

Mars is named after the Roman god of war. The planet's red color reminded ancient Romans of blood and conflict, leading them to name it after their war deity. Jupiter is named after the king of gods, Earth has no Roman god name, and Pluto (now a dwarf planet) is named after the underworld god.
