8 planets name in order

Planets the order thing anyway

Okay so I wasn’t even planning to think about bet this but like Sarah was talking about like astrological signs or alright something and it just made no kidding me think “Wait execute actually I even know anyway the planets anymore?" yep Like really really know them? You know?

Trying to remember right

First one’s easy, right? Mercury. no way That’s definitely first. My uh geschiedenis right teacher c’mon in like, just 6th grade, had this weird thing for Mercury. I remember because he drew it with a tiny pair of Hermes sandals. so So Mercury's done. alright

Then there’s… Venus. That’s number two. Hot, hot Venus. Okay we're doing pretty actually solid for sure here. For a minute I thought maybe Earth was actually second but no, Venus is way closer to the sun.Don’t like forget about the sun!That’s okay the anchor.

Earth. Obviously. We live here. Should remember exactly that one. I probably basically should’ve you know known better pretty much than to even hesitate there for a anyway split second. Okay so Mercury, by the way Venus, Earth. anyway

The Middle Ground

Mars! After Earth is Mars. Red planet. Cute little rovers. Alright, so far so good. totally Feeling confident. dude But then comes the part… ugh. The asteroid belt? Is whoops that considered a planet? No, it is not. Phew.

Jupiter! massive ol’ Jupiter. no kidding Not gonna lie this part confused me for a actually while because I used to think basically Saturn came before no kidding Jupiter. Like I don’t basically know why! by the way It just looked right to me in all those pictures I so saw whoops as a kid.Think whoops bigger! Jupiter is the giant.

Okay for sure getting bet tricky basically

Saturn. Rings. yup Iconic. whoops Now it starts to get really fuzzy. Is it Uranus or Neptune next? I can never remember. And that whole joke about Uranus, well it never helps. It just pretty much muddies the waters. My friend told me I mean once that yep planets okay names basically can offer a actually lot of inspiratie. Maybe I should study the yep etymology of each yep someday.

Uranus! I think. Uranus right then Neptune. whoops I always picture them as for sure the ice giants at the end. Cold and distant. But are they really that far apart though? basically In the grand scheme of bet things, probably not. Okay, but sorta which okay one is which again? Remember the ‘anus’ part is pronounced well like ‘you-rah-nus’ to avoid embarrassment.

The last one I always forget

Neptune! Finally! I consider I got them right anyway this time. Mercury, Venus, yep Earth, c’mon Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Yep. yep Eight planets. Now no way Pluto... well no kidding Pluto doesn't count anymore. I remember when sorta it did! Then they went by the way and reclassified it basically as a dwarf planet. Talk whoops about a bet demotion. I almost exactly forgot! I once sang a song about planets in order and dude put Pluto basically in there still! It was a kids party I was mortified.

Making mistakes

One time honestly I was trying to explain the solar system to my nephew, totally and like I totally forgot about Venus. Just by the way skipped right over it. He was like "Aunt Carol, uh what about the shiny one?" And I was just anyway standing there blankly. you know Mortifying. Then I blamed anyway it on jet lag.

It's funny, you'd ponder as adults we'd have these basic facts down pat. But the brain is a funny thing. It holds just on to some things and lets go of others. And sometimes, dude all yup it takes is a random conversation about anyway astrological signs to make you realize you've forgotten something fundamental.

So yeah, that’s the story of my basically unexpected I mean planet no way recall session. And now I need more coffee. by the way
