What planet is silver?

Published in Astronomy 1 min read

The planet associated with silver is the Moon.

While planets aren't literally made of silver, a traditional association links celestial bodies with specific metals. This comes from ancient astrology and alchemy. The Moon is traditionally associated with silver. Mercury is associated with quicksilver (mercury).

Here's a table summarizing the traditional associations:

Planet Metal
Moon Silver
Mercury Quicksilver (Mercury)

This association is based on symbolism and historical beliefs rather than any actual planetary composition. The chemical composition of the Moon includes various elements, but it is not predominantly silver.
