Why was the planet Saturn named Saturn?

0

Not named by scientists! Saturn is a naked-eye object, known as a planet to the ancients. It is also the slowest-moving of the naked-eye planets. In Roman mythology, Saturn is among the oldest of the gods, equivalent to Chronos the Titan in Greek mythology. Saturn is older, slower, and “dimmer” than Jupiter, who overcame him.
