What is an easy way to memorize the order of the 8 planets?

Answer 1

If you mean "how do you remember them in order of distance from the sun," the mnemonic I've heard is "My Very Earnest Mother Just Served Us Nine Pickles," though you still have to keep track of which M is Mercury and which M is Mars on your own. I suppose you could replace "Nine Pickles" with "Noodles" to leave out Pluto.

Answer 2

The easier way to remember it is make a sentence with it,

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nuts (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)

Answer 3

My

Very

Energetic

Mother

Just

Served

Us

Nice

Pizza

Just forget about p cause that is for Pluto and it is now a dwarf planet.

Answer 4

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Names - Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Or you can use My Very Educated Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas - same thing except there you have to remember to not count Pluto.

Comments: With these things I always think you need to distinguish between Mercury and Mars, because they both start with "M".

You can make up your own sentence to do that, if you like.

Actually the previous answer makes my point. It has Mercury and Mars in the wrong order.

The order of the planets from the Sun is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Answer 5

There is no well-known acronym mnemonic for the size order Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury. It would be JSUNEVMM.

This is likely for three reasons:

- the high-to-low MASS order switches Neptune (more massive) and Uranus

- the relatively brief time since Pluto's removal as the 9th "major planet" in 2006

- the differentiation between the two M's (Mercury and Mars), easier to remember with Mercury first when using the mnemonic MVEMJSUN (e.g. My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles or

Mary's Violet Eyes Make John Stay Up Nights).
