Name the Planets Quiz

Thank you Saved by The Bell for giving me the acronym to remember the planets. Pluto isn't a planet any more?

yup it was gone a long time ago...poor planet it was disolved......it was so far from the sun that it became into nothing.....

such a lie!! it is considered too small, and is half ice. basically, it is a very large comet that is in orbit.

Wasn't the shape of its orbit another reason to dismiss it?

Only took 6 seconds to complete - say what! That's right ... noobs.

I'd take a science class if I were you... when Pluto was considered a planet, it was (and still is, in fact) the farthest from the sun.

Pluto is not a planet. Never was. Badly classified. That settles that.

Pluto was a planet and unconsidered one because it crossed Neptune's orbit. That one who sadi because of its size, you probably got it from "Shut Up Cartoons" so I understand.

It's not fair! I like pluto.

Technically, Pluto is a planet. It was just downgraded to dwarf planet and is no longer considered part of the main planets of the solar system.

Yeah! Don't discriminate against Pluto!!

i love pluto!!

Tell you what, we'll be fair as a community. You can count as having done better with Pluto IF you can name the other two dwarf planets as well. Include them all or include non - deal? ;)

ceres and ... cerebus maybe are the other two dwarf planets

there's more than two other dwarf planets.

Ceres, Eris, Makemake, Haumea, and I believe sometimes even Charon is counted, as it doesn't technically orbit Pluto.

Pluto got demoted many years ago by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. It is considered a planetoid or dwarf planet. It's only about as big across as the state of Texas.

i remember it by; My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets each capital letter is the start of a planet

thank you

I think Pluto isn't technically a planet.

its a dwarf planet

I was raised that pluto was a planet too...size I guess...does matter.

lol!

Pluto was officially declared a 'dwarf planet' a while back, because of it's size and irregular orbit, like the dwarf planet Eris (which only comes around like once every 200 years... or something)

obviously i would know them all: My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas, well minus the p. :)

it can now be My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos

from what i learned, i know it by the acronym My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles but i think its like the same thing even though i like nachos too =)

My Very Easy Method Just Sums Up Naming (Planets).. makes more sense! ;)

"my very easy method just speeds up napping" is what I leaned

I always learned it as "My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas." Obviously like you said, the 'P' and 'Pizzas' are no longer important.

My Very Easy Mother Just Shows Up Nude

The way I think of it now (since Pluto doesn't count any more) is "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nothing.

i'm swear they just declared pluto as a planet again! :(

Nope it's gone forever (not really)

No Pluto was found to orbit another body who's orbit lies outside our solar systems.

No, Pluto orbits the Sun. You might be referring to the fact that the system of Pluto and its "moon", Charon has a center of mass that's outside of Pluto's surface, and that Pluto could also be said to be orbiting the center of mass of this system. If I'm not mistaken, despite its strange orbit, (Pluto's orbit is much farther from circular than the major planets and it's not close to being in the ecliptic plane as they are), this wasn't officially the reason it was downgraded to dwarf planet. I think it was the requirement that a non-dwarf planet be large enough to clear other debris from its orbit, which pluto, apparently, isn't.

Ceres is significantly smaller than Pluto. Eris is a little bigger, though.

Can you accept Neptun for Neptune and Uran for Uranus?

PLUTO I LOVE YOU EVEN IF YOUR NOT A PLANET! YOUR MY FAVORITE WHATEVER YOU ARE! DONT LISTEN TO ALL THE CRAZIES OUT THERE! YOUR AWESOME PLUTO! JUST LIKE MICKIE MOUSE'S DOG! LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER! PEACHYGIRL

Pluto doesn't love you back

Umm... I don't think Pluto can read. ;)

And if he could, I doubt he'd log on to JetPunk. Too Earth-centric.

100% 8/8

chenry Pluto still orbits the Sun just as it always has; it has been reclassified as a dwarf planet.

Pluto a dwarf planet which, like a regular planet, orbits the sun and has hydrostatic equilibrium (which gives it a spheroid shape). Unlike normal planets, though, a dwarf planet does "clear the neighbourhood", which means it's too small for its gravity to affect all objects in its orbit. The idea of reclassification came about when arguments were being made that other objects in space would need to be reclassified as planets (such as Eris) if Pluto was to be accepted as one.

Awww, why let facts get in the way of a good flame war? ;) Thanks for spelling it out.

I like pluto Mickey mouse's dog to he is sooooooo cute!!!!!

100% with 1:06 to spare. Lol Pluto comments. Pluto is now defined as a dwarf planet because pluto was no formed in our solar system!

Thank you mnemonic sentence for helping me get it all in order; My Vicious Earthworm Might Just Swallow Us Now....

How can only 98% of people LIVING ON EARTH not get EARTH right?!?!?!?! That is sad

What if they don't live on Earth? DUN DUN DUN

Then we'll have to change the name of the World Wide Web!

That would be kind of creepy...

MY VERY EDUCATED MOTHER JUST SERVED US NINJAS.

YEASH I AM SO A CANNABLE...I EAT CHICKEN! whooo!

too easy, should lower the time

Got em all with 1:19 left!

Got em all with 1:21 left!

i laughed when i typed in UR-anus!

Thats so sad

so true

I got 100% with 1:30 left, and I'm 10 years old! YAY LOL :) Good luck.

thats impossible though. you can only have 1:30 to start with and stop lying about your age, it's annoying.

I'm eleven. What is wrong with that?

I'm 11. What's The Problem With That?

it's sad that some people don't know some of these

pluto is now considered a planetoid so its not a planet

8/8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i miss pluto :( it was my favourite planet

Thank you Drake and Joe for teaching me the planets... (:

and Pluto, yes pluto is a planet, the vote wasnt legitimate not everyone was there and it was decided by Euros who cant stand the fact an American discovered pluto

Hey! Don't insult Euros. I'm a francophone. That means I'm half French! And France is in Europe. And I can tell you right now that Euros couldn't care less about the fact that Americans discovered Pluto.

they should also classify Eris as a planet

no because what about all of the other dwarf planets??? "Science class just got a whole lot harder, kids."

Is it bad that I forgot earth.

Yay! 15 seconds!

my very eastindian mother just served us naan

Poor Pluto. My Very Elderly Mother Just Sent Us New Pajamas no longer works :( What can she send us now?

Nothing lol

Nachos!

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming (Planets) FTW!

After they ostraziced Pluto I do the mnemonic like this: My very educated mother just served us nachos :)

RIP Pluto

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos. Awesome. <3

Only 98% of people get Earth right?

Lolwut

Pluto, I know in my heart you're a planet. Stay strong little buddy

Should we be worried that only 98% of users got Earth??? LOL!

98% Get Earth Right?? Horrible...

my very educated mother just showed us nine planets :)

I learned it by "Mary's violet eyes make John stay up nights."

pluto you are a planet dont listen to these stupid scientists

My 8 year old son got all of them with 30 seconds spare. Great for teaching kids.

i'm 9 an i got them with 1:24 remaining.

nope pluto isn't a planet anymore as of august 2006, sorry if thats super nerdy, but its a dwarf planet now

Ummmmm....... okay Georgiapeahrocks!!????!?!?!

Pluto is that Disney dog, not a real planet name.

I just think of the song Drake and Josh sing

I SAW MERCURY, THEN VENUS, THEN THE EARTH, THEN MARS, THEN JUPITER, THEN SATURN,THEN URANUS, THEN NEPTUNE

I guess there are a few people that don't think of Earth as a planet. Or they assume that when asked all the planets, they think of all the other planets and take Earth for granted as a given. I'm just trying to think of excuses for missing Earth. I didn't miss it myself. Go ahead with the comments "sure I didn't." I know they're coming.

I'm not sure why people are so emotionally attached to Pluto. It's just another rocky ball of ice going round the sun. There's plenty others in the same class that are bigger than it. What's in a name? It really doesn't deserve to be a planet.

@bakufan... the quiz is only 1:30 long so i'd think you're lying??

OMGG!!! I forgot Earth!

R u an alien? XD!

lol all 8 in 9 seconds

How the heck did people forget earth? srsly?

My Very Elderly Mother Just Sat UnderNeath (Pluto) :D

My Very Elderly Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets...

my very elderly master just shot under ninety planes

all 8 with 1:11 left :)

Really...forget Earth???

"My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" can now become "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles" ?

Most people did so well because they were forced to memorise them at school. Completely pointless now we're grown up

My very earnest mother just served us nachos. That's one way and another way could be: My very easy method just speeds up naming.

I thank blue's clues for this one. :')

i forgot mercury :P

1:11 BABAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot earth ......... Oops :l

Curse you, Neptune! You don't get enough references in Futurama for me to remember you!!

My very easy method just speeds up naming planets

THE AVERAGE SCORE IS 7! How stupid can people be! On my first try I got all of them with 1:12

I feel horrible for anyone who can't get all of them. *sigh* Unfortunately this describes a lot of people.

Very easy, 1:07 left

98% of people get Earth???

I got all of them in 1:19

100% 1:20 left.

How do none of the planets have 100%!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This is why I watched Blues Clues when I was little. Thank you, Steve and Blue, for providing me with the knowledge necessary to ace this quiz.

Bragging about getting 8/8 is like bragging you were the fastest sperm...

hahaha lol

but that's true!

This is the easiest quiz on this whole website.

Try "Countrieds that begin with the letter O." There is exactly one answer.

what is it

Oman

had 1:09 to spare, if I know a lot about anything it is space.

With 1:23 left! Beat that!

alls you have to remember is my very eager mother just served us nachos and the beginning of the words are the planted my:mercury very:venus eager: earth mother:mars just:jupiter served:saturn us:uranus nachos:neptune

Scored 1:20

I typed in pluto and wondered why it did not work. Then when I saw that 98% of people knew that Earth was a planet, and facepalmed.

I finished in 20 seconds!!! BEAT THAT! haha

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets. :'-)

To aid in remembering the planets, I always use the saying "Mercury, Venus, Earth (Terra), Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune"

Pluto takes offense at this quiz. Regardless, in my mind Pluto will always be a planet.

Then you have to count Eris, and Ceres etc.

Sadly, Pluto doesn't count as a planet anymore...

100% with 1:08 remaining!!!

Does anyone actual not get 100% on this quiz lol

Pluto was the best planet by a long way. :-( but i got themalll with 1:06 left :-)

Was anyone else singing the Blues Clues planet song to themselves while taking this quiz?

For me it was The Magic School Bus where they go to each one in the spaceship-converted bus.

Pluto is a planet. It's a planet that's sitting on the Kupier belt.

a planet must clear its area with its gravity. everything in the kupier belt is a dwarf planet

Here's a helpful video about it: Go to Youtube and type "Is Pluto a Planet" It should be the first one below the yellow video.

2% of people taking this quiz who actually LIVE on it dont get earth?? that is either wrong or humans r very very thick :/

Maybe some kids take this quiz that's why this quiz is on the kid section! And they don't know that they live on Earth! I didn't know about the Solar System until 3rd Grade

pluto's 5th moon was only discovered very recently like last week.

its the 6th

Pluto :(

i miss pluto :/

Just close your eyes and think of the Sailor Moon theme song...

1:19 left!

Thank you, California public school system, for this win.

Pluto is my favorite planet and dog

why is pluto not a planet?

Eris is bigger then pluto. If you ask me, I fell worse for Eris than Pluto, because Eris never even was a planet, although it had more qualifications.

funny thing is that Pluto is the roman equivalent to Hades the god of death and Micky Mouses dog, (coincidence?)

They were also made / found in the same year!

8/8=100% with 1:14 seconds to spare! :)

only 98% of people get Earth right....? What!

Thank you Drake & Josh!!! "I saw Mercury, then Venus, I saw the Earth, then Mars, then Jupiter, then Saturn, Uranus and Neptune!!!!!!!" If only they hadn't tried to enter that competition.... PS the quiz should be shorter....1:30 is too long :)

1:20 left

Done in only 9 seconds! New highscore! That's like 51 WPM, but I can do 65 when I don't have to take half second breaks to think of what to type.

Done with 1:17 to spare :D

I was born and raised on Pluto and I, for one, am very offended that it isn't an official planet. Plutonian independence 2013!

This quiz would be better if you had to name the planets in the correct order.

i remember it by a song I learned from my science teacher that is to the tune of "She'll be comin' around the mountain."

I wish that I could know the names of the 2% of people that cannot remember that earth is one of the planets in our solar system.

How come nobody learned it the same as me?! :/ My Very Easy Method Just Sums Up Nine Planets Poor Pluto :/

got them all in 41 seconds but always spell Uranus wrong (:

its sad that the average score is 7.... but i got 8 with 1:10 left WOOT!

Less time for this quiz, it's too easy. I finished them all with 1:14 left. If I had wanted to, I coulda looked em all up in a book while the timer was still running.

Yes, and if you wanted to, you could click pause timer. It's not like your trying to prove anything to anyone; there is not point in looking it up, that ruins the fun of it. I agree that the time is way too high, but your reasoning makes no sense The reasoning is, if you cannot figure out that the planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune in about 30 seconds, the chances are, you're not going to get it

My Very Extraordinary Mother Jumped Unexpectedly Now

100% with 1:17 to spare

yeah..!! got it all with 100% percentage all in all.. now i'm on the next level..!! woohhh>>!!

soooo easy but kinda fun at the same time

You kidding me! 1:19 left!

100% with 1:20 to spare.

The only one i missed is Earth

99% got Earth? What is this world coming to???

After Neptune I tried to type in Pluto and got really confused for a second. Poor Pluto :(

RIP Pluto Revolve in Peace

done in 23 seconds...

I wish Pluto was a planet...My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas doesn't work anymore!

This was easier then child's play!

To improve, make the time shorter, almost everyone nows the names of all the planets, it was a really easy quiz. Hope this helps.

May Pluto Revolve In Peace.

All of them with 1 minute and 1 second left.

I still think pluto should be a planet

I think the quizmaker is right about Pluto being a dwarf planet. It was named one in 1999.

Well this didn't take me 10 seconds or anything...

There's a science song called "The Nine Planets". At this very moment, children everywhere are failing their tests with the lyrics, "Then there's Pluto, small and plain, a planet till the end of our days!"

Monkey Vases Estimate Meat Juice Served by Underwater Ninconpoops! :P

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU PLUTO?! I wish it was back. I liked 9 planets better.

Easy quiz...100% and still got 1.04 min left.

It is sad that 99% of people guessed Earth. It should be 100% since we live on Earth.

Thank you Sailor Moon!!
