Why not? Gas giants are thought to have plenty of solids in their cores.

“Ancient Chinese and Japanese culture designated the planet Saturn as the “earth star” (土星). This was based on Five Elements which were traditionally used to classify natural elements.” [Source: Wikipedia]. The planet names are based on Chinese astrology.

I don’t think anyone questioned the name or its origins

In other news: 土曜日 → Saturday → Saturn → 土星

Check this thread: [image] Planets mnemonics WaniKani This is a silly issue, I know, but it sort of grinds my gears when I see mnemonics that are really inaccurate to real life. I’m not talking about the ones you need to use your imagination for, but those which “force” me…

I’ve modified this mnemonics as follows: *I know it will be one of the planets, so it’s multiple choice question. *Dirt → Urn (put dirt/ashes into urn) *Saturn

That’s a very smart one :open_mouth:
