The Romans knew seven bright objects in the sky: the Sun, the moon, and the five brightest planets. They named the planets after the most important gods. Because Mercury was the fastet planet as it orbited the sun, it named after the messenger:GOD MERCURY. Hope this will help :P.

It's because Mercury, the planet, travels around the sun the fastest and has the shortest year. Hope this helps. :)

Where did friars live

natulia [17]

Answer:

Friars are different from monks in that they are called to live the evangelical counsels (vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience) in service to society, rather than through cloistered asceticism and devotion. Whereas monks live in a self-sufficient community, friars work among laypeople and are supported by donations or other charitable support.[2] Monks or nuns make their vows and commit to a particular community in a particular place. Friars commit to a community spread across a wider geographical area known as a province, and so they will typically move around, spending time in different houses of the community within their province.
