That was our mnemonic device before they dropped Pluto.

I'm willing to bet there are grown adults who don't know the order of the planets and can't name more than 4 celestial bodies.

Perhaps the OP is studying for an astronomy class. My first answer was 'who cares?'

This works most of the time, except for when Pluto’s orbit passes inside of Neptunes. But currently your list is correct.

Just like the Uber Eats commercial, in order to remember something, I need to forget something else. So when I memorized the Seven Dwarfs, I forgot the names and order of the planets.

There are probably a dozen mnemonics for the order of planets.

I just know from memory, or from some science teacher dumming them into my brain.

Pluto is actually one of two objects in orbit around each other. The other body is named, "Charon".
