Funnily enough I made a topic about this from when I was at school. http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/173524-school-poem-to-remember-planets-order/

My alternative was

Massive Vessels Easily Mine Asteroids Just Skipping Undersize Non Planets

which may be stretching the point a little

I saw this one the other day, apologies to the author if it was on here - many very energetic martians jump straight under nine planets

All my own work. Did it at work during a T-break....... (cough!)

Uranus wonky.

Neptune breezy.

Pluto trans-Neptunian object.

Sedna also.

I was chuckling about the one that I had to memorise when I was in school the other day actually. I'm only 29 and this is the sort of rhyme I would have imagined Victorian's making their kids remember. I was sent to a private school by my parents though so perhaps that's it.

Anyway it was..

Many, Vicars, Eat, Mulberry, Jam, Sitting, Under, Norman, Pulpits.

Haha. How pompous is it expecting a young kid to remember that.

One my partner made up,

Martians Visiting Earth May Just Show Us New Planets

Makes me smile!

(My science teacher taught me that and I have never forgot it, even though I knew the order before that anyway but it sometimes helps when my mind freezes)

The lines of the treble clef stave you mean.

The notes between the lines are FACE

Bass clef is Great Big Dogs From Africa and All Cows Eat Grass.

Surely, if this is going to be accurate it should include all those now reclassified as Dwarf Planets, so Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Eris and Makemake..

The reasoning behind this is that Dwarf stars are still stars, Dwarf people are still human and Dwarf Hippos are still, well Hippo's...so a Dwarf Planet is still a planet...

Therefore our Solar system now totals 13 known planets, whether dwarf or gas Giant in extremes...

So make up one as it should be...

Mercury > Venus > Earth > Mars > Ceres > Jupiter > Saturn > Uranus > Neptune > Pluto > Haumea > Makemake > Eris

However this could be further complicated this year as the IAU have a meeting scheduled to discuss up to 48 other "Candidate" dwarf planets, so the solar system could expand to 61 planets in total...4 terrestrial, 4 gas worlds and 53 Dwarves!!
