It's a real easy one too. To ensure that the list stays stuck, just think of something along the lines of “Mercury Met Venus Every Night Until Saturn Jumped.” Essentially, this indicates that the size of the planets in order from smallest to largest is Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter.

What is the smallest planet?
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system – only slightly larger than Earth's Moon.
What is the biggest planet in the world?
Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system – more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined.
What are the top 5 smallest planets?
If we put our planets in 'size order' they would be listed as the following, from large to small: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury. Since we lost Pluto as an official planet, it appears that Mercury is now considered the smallest planet in the solar system.
What is the order of the plants?
The order of the planets in the solar system, starting nearest the sun and working outward is the following: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and then the possible Planet Nine. If you insist on including Pluto, it would come after Neptune on the list.
What planet is the hottest?
Planetary surface temperatures tend to get colder the farther a planet is from the Sun. Venus is the exception, as its proximity to the Sun and dense atmosphere make it our solar system's hottest planet.
Is Sun a planet?
The sun and moon are not planets when you consider the objects in space they orbit. For the sun to be a planet, it would have to orbit another sun. ... The sun fits the definition of a star, because it is a giant ball of gases consisting of hydrogen and helium, with nuclear reactions going on inside.
Can we live on Jupiter?
Living on the surface of Jupiter itself would be difficult, but maybe not impossible. The gas giant has a small rocky core with a mass 10 times less than Earth's, but it's surrounded by dense liquid hydrogen extending out to 90 percent of Jupiter's diameter. ... You'd also see numerous cracks that crisscross the globe.
What planet is the coldest?
The coldest planet in our solar system on record goes to Uranus which is closer to the Sun and 'only' about 20 times further away from the Sun than the Earth is.
Is red a planet?
Mars is known as the Red Planet because iron minerals in the Martian soil oxidize, or rust, causing the soil and atmosphere to look red.
Is Uranus the biggest or smallest planet?
To ensure that the list stays stuck, just think of something along the lines of “Mercury Met Venus Every Night Until Saturn Jumped.” Essentially, this indicates that the size of the planets in order from smallest to largest is Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter.
Which planet has a life?
Among the stunning variety of worlds in our solar system, only Earth is known to host life. But other moons and planets show signs of potential habitability.
What is the farthest planet to the sun?
Neptune is the furthest planet from the Sun in our Solar System but there are dwarf planets further out, notably Pluto. Pluto's orbit is a much more elongated ellipse than those of the other planets, so for 20 years out of its 249-year orbit, it is in fact closer to the Sun than Neptune.
Why is Pluto no longer a planet?
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.”
What's the closest planet to the sun?
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun. In 2004, NASA launched its MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging mission, nicknamed MESSENGER.
