After the demotion of Pluto, I rather liked this mnemonic:
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us... Nothing!
- benj111 8y agoI'm just stuck on "My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming....." Very unsatisfying. But my aged brain cant remember the others :(
- 0003 8y agoI just use SUN. MVEMJ is so ingrained into my memory, but the more distant gas giants I forget! :P
- _kst_ 8y agoI use the names of the planets to remember the mnemonic.
- tzjmetron 8y agoHehehe. To be honest, I never got mnemonics myself. The original data seem far easier to remember.
- novaleaf 8y agoI recited the planet names to my kids as toddlers using the tune of Brahms' Lullaby. I think it helped them.
- jonathankoren 8y agoSame.
- donum 8y agoIn German it's funny, we were saying: Mein Vater erklärt mir jeden Sonntag unsere neun Planeten. Not only is the last word missing now, the number 9 (neun) is also totally wrong now. ;)
- jonathankoren 8y agoThe mnemonic I gave is joke on the original one: “My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas.” But since the P is gone, the pizzas go with it. ;) In case anyone is wondering what the new one actually is, the mom now serves nachos.
