My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming

And fitting; since by means of a vote we messed up the definition of planet, we omit from the acronym the claim that we are naming planets.

I just remember the 4 inner rocky planets which is pretty easy, and then the giant outer planets spell JSUN.

Asteroid belt in between and the second asteroid belt (the Kuiper belt) on the outside.

Then the Oort cloud surrounding the whole thing as a shield to protect the system from alien incursion.

I think of them more as by properties: Mercury hasn't even an atmosphere, it's too close to the sun; Venus is a hot earth so it sits closer than us; then comes its sister planet Earth; Mars is cool by comparison and sits further away than we do. Jupiter and Saturn are harder but sit before the ice giants Uranus and Neptune, again making logical sense. Whether Jupiter or Saturn comes first, I guess there's some memorisation, with or without some sentence about it
