Can anyone relate the story that is an aide de memoire for the naming of the planets in order?

[Jabba]

There are a few. The one I use is "Many volcanoes erupt mulberry jam sandwiches under normal pressure".

Don't know the story, but try this mnemonic. Click here.

Hi mike1222, this isn't meant to be sarcastic or rude, but I think it would be useful to the AB team if you could explain why you posted this question here and not in one of the other categories. The reason I ask this is because this category is for posting suggestions for improvements to the AB site. It has already been pointed out to the AB Editor that the title Suggestions is a little ambiguous and that a Science category is needed. Thanks.

My Very Easy Method Just Set Up Nine Planets

Wraith, no offence taken. I just didn't read the blurb at the intro to the section. I actually looked specifically for a "science" or at least a related heading, but to no avail - should I slap my wrist?!!!

[bernardo]

Ha! I like that one about the jam sandwiches! Unfortunately I don't need to use a mnemonic because I'm such a clever-clogs that I have always known the names in order anyway.

Similar to kags', mine is My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets.

Thanks for the reply mike1222. I'll leave the slaps on the wrist to you. Just thought that it might be useful for AB to see why some questions are posted in the wrong categories.

Great question, think I'll be using IndieSinger's suggestion myself.
