In order from closest to furthest from the Sun:

Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune

Note that many lists from last year or earlier include nine planets--these eight, plus Pluto. Pluto is now considered to be a "dwarf planet."

From the time of the discovery of Pluto in 1930, up until August 2006, there have been 9 planets:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
I always thought the best way to remember them in order was a mnemonic which read "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Up Nine Planets". To me, this makes more sense than the version which mentions pizzas, and works beautifully - as long as there are nine! However, although some people have said "Pluto isn't a planet anymore", that isn't strictly true, and it isn't the whole story, either.
At last summer's conference of the International Astronomical Union, Pluto was re-classified as a "dwarf planet", along with two other objects. One of these was Ceres, the largest of the asteroids that orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The other was Eris, which is further out than Pluto, and is actually a little larger than Pluto.
So this means that now there are 8 "classic" planets and 3 "dwarf planets" making a total of 11, because if a human dwarf is still a human, then a dwarf planet is definitely a planet.
In order the whole lineup is:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Eris.
This means we need a new mnemonic. My suggestion is: "My Very Educated Mother Can't Judge Symphonies Unless Neighbours Play Euphoniums", though I have a more technical one, which reads "My Very Educated Mother creates Jet Streams Using Nuclear Pulse Engines" :)
Take your choice!

The closest to the sun is Mercury, then Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Last year it was decided that pluto would be classified a Dwarf Planet, as there are probably lots of other "planets" even further away from the sun which are similar to Pluto, and our Solar System would be pretty full if we included them all. So we're down to 8 planets and who knows how many Dwarf Planets. Also some asteroids (big dods of rock) between Mars and Jupiter, but let's not complicate things too much.

The planets in our solar system (in order from closest to the sun to farthest from the sun) are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Previously, Pluto was considered a planet, but that is no longer true.

To remember the planets, try this: My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos. The first letter of each word corresponds with that planet's first letter.

Hope that helps.

Our solar system consists of the sun, eight planets, moons, dwarf planets, an asteroid belt, comets, meteors, and others. The sun is the center of our solar system; the planets, their moons, the asteroids, comets, and other rocks and gas all orbit the sun.

The nine planets that orbit the sun are (in order from the sun): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (a dwarf planet). A belt of asteroids (minor planets made of rock and metal) lies between Mars and Jupiter. These objects all orbit the sun in roughly circular orbits that lie in the same plane, the ecliptic (Pluto is an exception; it has an elliptical orbit tilted over 17° from the ecliptic).

Easy ways to remember the order of the planets (and Pluto) are the mnemonics: "My Very Excellent Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas" and "My Very Easy Method Just Simplifies Us Naming Planets" The first letter of each of these words represents a planet - in the correct order.


Hope this helps,
Dean.

The easiest way to rememeber is to memorize this simple rhyme -
My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets.
Each first letter of the word is the first letter of all the planets from closest to the sun to furtherst. I'm not going to name because other people have done it for you & it the information you require is easily obtainable with a google search.
