Answer:

The answer would be Mercury.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to its fast travel across the sky, the planet has been given this name. Mercury was named for the fast-moving messenger god of Rome. The planets received their names from the ancient Greeks because they believed that the moving stars in their night sky were their gods going about their activity, so... the planets were named after Roman gods.

Hope this helps! :D
