I just realized that the planets are also named after the “elements”: Mercury 水星, Venus 金星, Mars 火星, Jupiter 木星 and Saturn 土星. Guess because these are the ones visible with the naked eye… Uranus and Neptune are a bit off, 天王星 and 海王星 (heavenly-king star and sea-king star, that’s obviously just adopted Greco-Roman mythology).

BTW, Jupiter as the wooden star, aaawww that’s just cute. But why not, it kind of looks like it is made of wood.
