Sharing My Love Of Space With You | By Rishabh, Barcelona
11-year-old Rishabh Pal from Barcelona, Spain loves space and shares an awesome phrase to help us remember the name of the planets.
I love space and I can’t wait to tell you a few interesting facts about space.
First of all, What is ‘space’? Maybe you’ll be thinking of space as in keeping distance. I’m thinking of the space we all are in.
Space is boundless. It has many interesting objects like planets, stars, huge rocks and stones, solar systems, moons and black holes.
When our parents learnt about our solar system, they were told there are 9 planets but in August 2006, the International astronomical union(IAU) removed Pluto as a planet and named it ‘Dwarf Planet’.
So now there are 8 planets in our Solar system. They are:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
An easy way to remember them is :
MY VERY EDUCATED MOTHER JUST SERVED US NOODLES.
This stands for:
My- Mercury
Very- Venus
Educated- Earth
Mother- Mars
Just- Jupiter
Served- Saturn
Us- Uranus
Noodles- Neptune
Isn’t that a fun way to remember?
