How do you remember the order of the metric system. Someone mentioned them but did not say how they remember them? Thanks!

Never heard “sergeant major hates eating onions.” I grew up in Michigan and was taught HOMES. (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior.)

I love the sentence. Although HOMES may be easier for some people to remember.

Nice list, but I think it’s more useful to try and make sense out of things, instead of learning such mnemonics. You need one for Distance = Speed x Time? Seems like Americans really try to rule out thinking. Mendeleev invented the chart not by learning mnemonics. And the Moon is more of a planet than Pluto, that’s just a large piece of ice.
Try something like this: All, Earth (agriculture), Sky, Sea – Gods of All (Jupiter), Earth/agriculture (Saturn), Sky (Uranus -this is the Greek intruder), Seas (Neptune). You’ve got the order of the big planets and learnedother things as well. The small ones are Mercury (trade), Venus (love), Terra (earth – all of it not just USA), Mars (war). You can think that the last one – the war, can be fought for money, a woman or territory.
