Re: Re: How can i come up with anagram using M V E M J S U N P about the planets?

What a great question, Riza. :)

As MadSci understands it, your assignment is to think up your
own *new* memory aid for remembering the names of the planets,
in order of their distance from the Sun? Assuming that's right,
I thought that a few examples might help stimulate your creat-
ivity. Note the characteristics of the examples below, which
make them good aids to memory:
1) They make a sentence that is near enough to being real-
    istic, that you might actually be able to remember it!
2) They have something unusual about them that makes them
    stand out from a normal sentence just a bit - or other-
    wise, you might never be able to remember them.
2) They don't repeat words (for the two planets whose names
    start with "M" - we wouldn't want to get them mixed up!)
3) They use simple words for the less common letters - for
    example, "up" for "U", or "very" for "V".

There are quite a few mnemonics (memory aids) for the order of
the planets in our solar system: some I learned over a quarter
of a century ago! Others may be more recent. Here are a couple:

Of course, some astronomers these days, don't really believe
that Pluto is a planet! Instead, they simply consider it one
of many small, icy objects that mostly lie outside the orbit
of Neptune - the so-called "Trans-Neptunian Objects". So they
have thought up a mnemonic for this smaller, Pluto-free solar
system. I personally find this one hard to memorize, and any
way, I'd prefer to keep thinking of Pluto as a planet. But
maybe you will find it useful?

And here's one I found today that includes the Asteroid Belt,
which is the band of thousands of small "planetoids" that for-
ever orbit between Mars and Jupiter:

(The "Ate" is for the Asteroid Belt! :>)


Happy memorizing, Riza, and clear skies!
