Remember

My Very Easy Method — “Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune”

  1. Order from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (“My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming”).
  2. Mercury – closest and smallest, Venus – hottest, Mars – the red planet, Jupiter – largest, Saturn – famous rings, Neptune – farthest.
  3. The Sun and the Pole Star are stars; the Moon, Titan and Ganymede are moons; Earth has 1 moon.

Use it for: Class 3 GK and science lessons on space, star-gazing at night and solar-system models.

Worked example: 🪐 Which planet is the largest planet? → Jupiter

  1. Jupiter is a giant ball of gas, far bigger than Earth.
  2. So Jupiter is the largest planet.

Check: Jupiter is planet 5 from the Sun, the first of the giants ✓
