I was given this one many years ago by one of my technical instructors and it stuck with me ever since. It is simply
MOVE MY SUN. (ignoring the O and substitute J for Y)
Again doesn't allow for Pluto. However, science has come to the party and formally expunged Pluto from the list of Planets!!

michelle, that one is good and relevant and I may just be able to remember it.
Now that Pluto has been dismissed from the list of planets, here's a mnemonic for remembering the ones that remain in their order out from the sun..."Mary's Violet Eyes Make John Stay Up Nights"...Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

The one I was taught, and now realising wasn't very PC was:

What a nice thing to teach a nine year old!
