It's called a mnemonic (the first "m" is silent). For the planets, it might be like this: My Very Eager Mother Just Served Undercooked Noodles.
The inner planets composed mainly of rock and metal are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are also known as terrestrial planets due to their Earth-like composition.
Moons of planets are typically called natural satellites because they orbit a planet just like how the moon orbits Earth. These moons vary in size and composition depending on the planet they orbit.
Those are called "planets". The ancient Greeks distinguished "fixed stars" - which is what we nowadays simply call "stars"; and the moving stars, which in Greek is called "planets".A planet certainly looks like a star (a very bright star, in some cases), but nowadays they are not usually called "stars".
When the planets were beginning to form the strong solar wind of the young sun blew most of the hydrogen and helium out of the inner solar system. Some scientists believe that Jupiter, being the innermost of the gas giants, captured much of this outgoing gas, adding it to its mass.
Satellites Moons Asteroids depending on the nature of the question
They are sometimes called "major planets" to distinguish them from the "minor planets" (the asteroids) and "dwarf planets" like Pluto.
They are sometimes called minor planets (not mirror planets).They aren't planets really, but they are a bit like little planets orbiting the Sun.
Because they are roughly like the Earth.
planets are some thing like earth but there are alot of things that are not the same.Like there is no planet that can hold or keep things alive like earth can.amost all the planets have no gravitey like earth does .
They are classified as terrestrial planets. The other grouping is called the gas giant planets.
Jovian means Jupiter-like - these planets are made of gas and are several times more massive than the Earth - like Jupiter.
The Outer Planets are called Jovian Planets!
A living thing that produces another living thing like itself is called a parent.
They might. Just remember, the only (water) ice fields we know of are on satellites, not planets.
Asteroids are called minor planets because they are celestial objects that orbit the sun just like planets do, but they are much smaller in size compared to planets. The term "minor" distinguishes them from the larger, more traditional planets in our solar system.
Their called epicycles
they are called gas giants they have no solid surfaces and are big
