Exercise K - Solar Systems & Planets
Can you remember the order of the planets?
There are many easy ways to remember the order of the planets. One of them is using
mnemonics phrases. A mnemonic aid is a trick to help you remember something.
This is an example:
"My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Names"
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
The first letter of each of these words represents a planet - in the correct order. Here are
other examples:
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine.
Mom Visits Every Monday, Just Stays Until Noon.
My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Noodles.
Now it's your turn!
Remember: It is a mnemonic phrase because the first letter of each word is the same as the
first letter of each planet.
In pairs or small groups make up your own mnemonics phrases to help you remember the
planets and their order in the solar system.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
Once you finish doing this, read your phrases out loud to the class.
