Do you know....

Hi, everyone!Does anyone know that there are only 8 planets in our Solar System now?The smallest one,Pluto,was being kicked out! This was decided by The International Astronomical Union on the 24th July 2006. There are 4 reasons:
1)It is too small, even smaller than the moon.
2)It's the furthest planet from the sun.
3)It is the coldest planet with the temperature,-245°C.
4)It is too light.
There used to be a shorthand to remember all the 9 planets' name.It goes like this,"My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas"
M=Mercury, V=Venus, E= earth, M=Mars, J=Jupiter, S=Saturn, U=Uranus, N= Neptune & P=Pluto.
But now that Pluto is gone, there are 3 new shorthands to remember,
1) "My Very Evil Mother Just Served Us Nothing".
2) "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos".
3) "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles."
Funny ! which one do you like ? I like the 3rd one.
Actually, I read about this on the Chinese children newspaper "Thumbs Up", there are more information there. Bye for now ! Ling Yun.
