WHERE THE HELL IS MARS!?!?!?!?
Is that the biggest problem you found with this? Interesting….
My Very Elderly Mother Just Sat Upon Numbats!
give pluto some love, at least! >:
My Very Elderly Mother Just Sat Upon Numbats pie!
I dont even get it :S
Fake science? If its real then shouldn’t it be on fail blog?
How is this even funny?
what up with the fake planets???
There’s nothing fake here. There are a few things out of order, a few missing, and few that should not be. Titan is Saturn’s sixth moon, “Aurora” could refer to the Aurora Borealis, and/or the Aurora Australis, also known as the Northern Lights and Southern Lights respectively. Lastly, Luna is the little known name of earths only moon.
Well the statement that they are in any order “closest to sun” is ridiculous, but I’m sure you know that.
Wow. Are we still commenting on this ad for FakeScience on tumbler?
But… moons aren’t planets, as far as I know.
Luna is also Spanish for moon
.
Oh and, as said above, it’s a joke.
… Luna is also the NAME OF THE MOON. It’s just that in Spanish it is called by it’s name and not by what it is.
Uhm yeah no.. Luna is the latin word for moon. The spanish word is derived from the original latin. And the moon was named after said original latin word. So in spanish it IS actually called by what it is, only in a DIFFERENT LANGUAGE than english.. Imagine that!
PS: Their word for moon existed long before anyone ever thought of naming the moon.
It’s a graph of the planets. And it’s on GraphJam.
wow. some people on here aren’t very smart… its called a joke. thats kind of the point of these websites. and its from fake science on tumblr.
Silly Fake Science Pluto is not a planet
Though just Earth, Saturn and Neptune are planets from those… The others are moons plus Pluto which you mentioned.
For now.
Science is just a long series of revisions.
No – it’s a system of refinement.
I’m going to have to agree with Mamarosa.
The revisions do tend to converge, but that is not a necessary aspect of science.
Pluto is a planet, you just have to squish your eyes and believe it!
Is this supposed to be funny?
Only if you actually know the names of the planets and anything about the order of their distance from the sun.
Is this even a graph to begin with
I think it’s more of a pony.
no it’s a horse of course
no neigh, it’s a cray . . .
. . . f-i-s-h ¬¬
crayon
dont you mean rayon?
is this even a statement
This is not an assertion.
I assert that this is not an assertion. I suppose that this is a supposition
Submitting Fail FAIL?
too bad this isn’t a fail site. It’s a graph site. and a chart is technically a graph (pie chart, tally chart, etc) which is what this poster is. Its a chart outlining the “planets” in the solar system. Hence making it a graph. I’m going to go sleep and then damage my liver and my brain, as the amount of stupidity is hurting me physically.
I know a chart is a graph, but a drawing of planets is not necessarily a chart. Apart from the fact that the planets are incorrect, the colours and sizes aren’t correct either. You can’t call something a chart if it doesn’t contain any data or comparisation.
The only information this actually contains are names.
If I drew three dogs and i’d name them it wouldn’t be a chart.
I’m just saying that the definition of ‘a chart’ isn’t so black and white. So don’t call me stupid
If you drew those dogs next to the sun, it would be a graph of their relative proximity to the sun.
If you named them, and then invented a mnemonic device in order to remember the order in which they will strike the molten surface of the sun (for doggy-sized tombstones, perhaps), then this would also be a graph of life expectancy. Here, of course, the x-axis (assuming you drew them in a horizontal line) is used to indicate the length of time they have left in which to drift through the vacuum of space in their special doggy spacesuits.
why yes, but how about gravitational acceleration? If i drew them in a horizontal line and the sun would be in the same horizontal line, then how could the x-axis indicate the time before impact.
(Your right about the fact that it is a graph btw, I was just getting kind of bored and wanted to make a silly statement)
I’m sure there’s an equation for that. Graphing equations is more of a mental exercise than I want to do right now, but I’m sure that you could label it with appropriate indicators.
This is graphjam, and I appreciate your silly statement.
definitely too much of a mental exercise for me, I already passed my math exam last semester.
your appreciation is greatly appreciated.
What exactly is .. comparisation?
horrible english
thought it was a type of eye infection . . .
This belongs on Fail Blog.
Seconded.
This is such a fail, that it doesn’t even belong on fail blog.
thirded… thirded? Does that work?…. Whatever. This fail fails so failingly, there isn’t even a word in the english language to help describe the level of this fail. This is like… blowing drying your hair in the bubble bath or using rat poison in your cereal instead of sugar. Except not fatal. Well, not fatal as long as you don’t show up to an astronomer’s convention brashly brandishing this… this… fail. It’s ridiculous, but I’m furious.
It’s fake, genius.
wow. some people on here aren’t very smart… its called a joke. thats kind of the point of these websites. and its from fake science on tumblr.
Aurora and Luna? Who now?
Actually, the proper mnemonics would be
Many /Mercury
Vigorous/ Venus
Earth/ Earth
Men/ Mars
Jump / Jupiter
Straight / Saturn
Up / Uranus
Near /Neptune
Pluto/ Pluto
Mind you, I learned this back before Pluto had been “Pluto’d”.
I can’t for the life of me remember the mnemonics for the moons/ satellites anymore.
My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas
…
Or…
My Very Easy Method Just Seems Useless Now.
wow at the second one. thank you!
Actually, Luna is correct. Luna is the Latin name for Earth’s moon. Hence, Lunar eclipse. And yes, Sol is the Latin name for our sun.
Luna /would/ be correct…if it were a planet. Fail.
Well, I was responding to Jahzzie’s comment, “Aurora and Luna? Who now?”, and in that context, Luna /is/ the proper name for our moon. So, go drop your Fail bombs on someone else’s comment….
. . . BOOM.
I have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to mean – or what it is at all. Plus, the tip makes no sense whatsoever, only a few are planets and … well, it’s just completely effin’ weird.
How are so many people under the impression that this is serious?
This is a graph. It is an intentionally erroneous, hilarious graph. I wouldn’t put it past a ‘wacky’ science teacher to put this up somewhere in a classroom.
I definitely wouldn’t go as far as hilarious. Wacky, sure… but on the hilarity scale it doesn’t even warrant a chuckle.
I LOLed. But that’s because I’m a nerd who likes Astronomy. Titan, Aurora and Luna are all moons (Luna is the scientific name for our moon). But yeah, this belongs on Failblog, since it really is a fail of epic proportions.
My god. FAKE science! FAKE! Read!
*sigh* Look, he was saying those are names of moons, not planets, there was at no point an attempt to say this graph was correct.
Pluto is not a planet, neither is Titan, Aurora, or Luna.
Pluto deserved to be decommissioned as a planet. Now the mnemonic goes “My very educated mother just served us nothing”.
Just wait. Pluto will be back.
Pluto: The Arnold Schwartzeneger of planets….
If Pluto is a “dwarf” planet, doesn’t that still make it a planet of some kind? It even has a moon, and Venus and Mercury don’t. “Real planets have moons!” Would that work on a T-shirt?
In school, weren’t we all told not to pick on those smaller than us? This is just bullying by another name! Anyone who says that cute yellow dog deserves this is just a bully, too.
Planets are a precious natural resource that we should protect until we can exploit them profitably. Where is Captain Planet when you need him?
I always thought that pluto is still technically a planet it just has alonger name :] ‘Dwarf Planet’ really doesn’t matter for me… Pluto is still just a planet in my heart. <3
( And please Please PLEASE do not define a dwarf planet for me and educate me on differences between dwarf planets and planets. Just got out of school haha)
I’m 14 and I’m now taught that Pluto isn’t a planet. What about Charon? It’s smaller than Pluto and it orbits it. Pluto is a planet.
My Very Exceptional Mother Just Stole Us [a] New Planet.
Pluto- the last of planets known. It was taken away by Mother.
Pluto and Charon basically orbit each other. I still consider it a planet though… but I’m old school like that.
Funnily enough I consider Pluto a planet too. Just because a planet doesn’t react to the “normal” rules set down by a “scientist” doesn’t mean that it’s any less or any more of a planet. There are eccentric people, why can’t we have eccentric Planets as well without people making up new titles for them. (The same thing applies to the way that Scientists are searching for life on other planets. Just because our planet produces life, doesn’t mean every planet is the same. You could have a silicon based lifeform that breathes a nitrogen based atmosphere or a lifeform that only lives in Gas Giants. Just because out form of life exists on a oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere doesn’t mean that any other planet should be ruled out.)
@Vila Restal
I could not agree more. Just look at the volcanic vents on the ocean floor. Life “should not” exist there in that environment; yet it does….
Your logic falls apart because of your use of truthiness.
A celestial body is or is not a planet based on the definition of planet.
When the definition of planet changed, then Pluto, though it itself did not change, did in a very real sense become not a planet.
@DevAd
You’re assuming there’s logic involved in my continuing to consider Pluto a planet… I was born in the 70′s. It’s been a planet for me this long, in my head it’s still a planet. I suppose I may be in “Pluto Denial”, but nonetheless, it’s a planet for me.
I can’t remember where I was, but I’ve actually seen a shirt that says: “It’s okay Pluto, I’m not a planet either.”
I’m wondering if the point of this is that almost everything is incorrect?
Missing planets, putting them incorrect order, and including things that are not technically planets but moons of other planets?
Part of me hope this was a real poster of a really dumb teacher. Part of me weeps for education if that is true.
Part of me weeps at your lack of understanding the word ‘fake’.
Fake Science fans will love this:

Apparently, Noah was dodging asteroids! Good thing the wave from that Chicxulub impact didn’t swamp the ark!
TLDR. Started to read it… got bored 1 paragraph in.
Just follow the link to the Fake Science website and you will understand this, uhm, interesting chart. Why oh why do we take everything so serious, it’s ICHC ffs
Funny though it doesn’t do anything on its own, but is very funny if you look at the other entries there!
and to think, all this time I thought Saturn was an outer senshi…
Useless
“Why is this supposed to be funny?” “IT SAYS IT’S FAKE YOU MORON!”
Yea..having that conversation over and over doesn’t address the question.
How does being fake make it funny at all? Why is it clever?
SCORE 1 FOR PLUTO!!!
(It’s a planet again) O.o
this is funny, but what the heck is it doing on graph jam? wouldn’t it fit better on failblog?
Nah, it would probably be better on fakescience….
thats not the order of the planets at all
Um, yes it is. This is to scale and everything.
Also, points to the graph for including the newly discovered ‘ASTRO TIP’ constellation.
I’m going to go ahead and laugh now
DRAGONITE USED AURORA BEAM !!
Pluto is NOT a planet -,-
We learned this song in 5th grade…..in the simpler times when Pluto was still a planet:
“I bought a MERCURY to get to VENUS, but how on EARTH will I ever get to MARS. Jumpin’ JUMPITER, the SATURN sale is Saturday. URANUS told me NEPTUNE’s selling PLUTO’s cars.”
And there you have it. All the planets in order.
Mars – Nevar Forget
This fails so bad xD “starting with the closest to the sun” … PLUTO IS NOT CLOSE TO THE SUN AT ALL!!! xD HAHAHAH
FAIL!
I see stupid people.
They’re everywhere.
They don’t even know that they’re dumb….
