Many Very Elderly Men Just Snooze Under Newspapers.
Basically this is a proper mnemonic because Pluto isn't a planet.
However if for some reason you are including Pluto:
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.
If you don't include Pluto:
If you include Pluto:
There is also a song I know which goes like:
Mercury is the first you see
Venus second and the Earth makes 3
And there's Mars Mars the god of war
Jupiter and Saturn make 1 2 more
Uranus 7th planet
Neptune completes the set
8 planets orbiting the sun
What are their names?

The mnemonic was "My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets" (MVEMJSUNP) :
My = Mercury
Very = Venus
Educated =Earth
Mother = Mars
Just = Jupiter
Showed = Saturn
Us = Uranus
Nine = Neptune
Planets = Pluto
(Another was "My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets")
Of course, students since 2006 must remember to exclude Pluto, as it is now a "dwarf planet" along with Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.
Just go through the sequence several times - you will learn it eventually. Saying it out loud as you repeat it several times also works, as it tends to help those that have trouble remembering things.
When you are done saying the planets out loud over and over after a few times, try quizzing yourself by covering up the planets (after you've made a list of them in order, which you should try to make from memory), and then mentally quiz yourself, and see if you got it right. Do this several times until you get the order right three times in a row, and do this again a few hours later.
For the record, there are now officially eight planets. Pluto has been demoted to a "dwarf planet".

For me personally, I just did it through repetition. Mercury, Venus Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto (which is no longer classed as a planet but was when I learned the order of them). repeating this over and over a few hundred times really drummed it in.
I guess a quicker and maybe easier way would be to use a sentence such as -
My Very Easy Method Just Shows Us Nicely
or
My Very Eccentric Mother Just Sent Us Nowhere
My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos.
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.

That mnemonic is some variation of My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.
Each letter stands for one of the planets. This mnemonic device was invented when there were only seven known planets.
There is no 'phrase' or mnemonic for this because the order of the Sun, Earth and Moon changes as the Moon orbits the Earth. Remember - planets obit a star (the Sun is a star) - Earth is a planet moons orbit planets - The Moon is a moon.
It's called a mnemonic (the first "m" is silent). For the planets, it might be like this: My Very Eager Mother Just Served Undercooked Noodles.
A mnemonic code is a device by which one can remember a string of data or formulae; for instance, "My very eccentric mother just served us noodles" is a mnemonic for remembering the (now) 8 planets in the solar system in the order of their distance from the sun. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Plump Mrs. Martian Voted Every Ninth Unicorn Should Jump.Comments: Pluto isn't a planet now, of course.Personally, I find that mnemonic hard to remember!This may help: notice how 5 of the planets have this order: Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn. The first letter of each planet spells "Venus".You can easily make up your own mnemonic. The trouble is Mercury and Mars begin with "M" so you need a way to distinguish between them.
You can learn planet names by memorizing this mnemonic sentence: "My very educated mother just served us nachos."
It help you understand and identify things better. Like, in my cass answering this dun question! "Why should that mnemonic device be changed?" okay so like you know the order of planets why should it be changed-
That is the usual order and it is remembered by this rather lame mnemonic: "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nutburgers." Which is:MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNetpune
The orbit of Jupiter is between the orbits of Mars and the asteroid belt and Saturn.A variation on a popular mnemonic device for remembering the order of the planets is "My very educated mother just served us nachos."
