Does anyone know of the phrase or sentence that is said to help you remember the planets and their relationship to the sun. Similar to the sentence " Richard Of York Gained Battles In Vain", for the colours of the rainbow, thanks.

how about this:

to be honest, I never learned the planets... maybe I missed that day at school? I can remember most of the periodic table though... lol

[edit]

infact, this site is MUCH better, it has lots of them:

If you get confused as to which M comes first remember, never put a Mars bar near the sun.
(It will melt!)

The Jam Sandwiches bit is the only bit I can ever remember when trying to remember the planets.

I was taught My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets :clap:

Dont forget the new planet in our solar system.

It is an american indian name but I forget the name.

The tenth planet is called Sedna.

Whether it is realised as a planet yet I dont know but it has been named Sedna. :)
