To remember the 9 planets I used to recite "My very efficient mind just store up nine planets". But with the all new list of planets (see my other questions) there is a pressing question to answer, How do we remember the names and order of the 12 planets?
The names and order of the planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres (formerly an asteroid), Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto & Charon(can be in any order as they are twin planets) and Xena (also known as 2003 UB313).
Good luck.
There is also the "classical planets" (the originals without Pluto), which might need remembering on their own. I will also consider any ways to remeber these for best answer.
