Rebecca,

I think you really wanted is a mnemonic for the planets. There are actually quite a few different ones you might like. A good one is "My very educated mother just showed us nine planets." A place to find a bunch of different mnemonics about astronomy and other aspects of science is http://www.c yberbeach.net/~willows/mnemon.htm#astronomy.

Hope this helps.
