Reply to comment by disneyvacafacts in TIL the largest moon in our solar system, Ganymede, is larger than the planet of Mercury by Jugales
Luna more originally. Moon is English and was not here until very recently, Selene is the Greek name for the earth's sole moon, Luna is Latin, thus Lundi (Monday), Marti, Mercredi, Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi, Dimanche.
Engish uses the Deutsch gods for days of week. Francais and Espagnol day names are very similar.
People need to get outside of their personal cultural mindsets now and then. The whole world and much larger Universe is NOT English. & surely not Americain,

Sol being our star has planets and those have moons. That's basic astronomy, which clearly most round here don't ken. By choice.
