Not Eight. I can't remember them any more because of those pesky scientists.
8 as of today...
Pluto is now a dwarf planet
who really knows?8,9,12,53...
1
As of today Pluto is no longer a planet so we have 8.
there used to b 9 but today it was announced there isonly 8
There was 9, but from today there are now 8. It will be 9 again soon, they can't make thier mind up.
I would probably say 7
So far they have identified 12.
as today 8 but reserch is going on to prove three more planets @ the qupitar belt
8 as of today... but i swear i saw an article of how they wanted to add more planets to our solar system... wow it makes no sense to me. why take pluto away? .. oh well..
Eleven I think - was nine, then twelve, but now Pluto's gone so I'm guessing eleven?!?
IDK but they are saying today that Pluto isnt a planet

9 - mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune and pluto.
But!! Some scientists are now approving a new definition of 'planet' which will make our solar system have these 9 planets plus 3 'sub-planets.' I don't know what they are called, and I'm not sure the decision has been finalized either. It was on CNN the other day . . . . .
As of today.8
um i think 9 i dont know wat the deal is about saying pluto isnt a planet wtvr
9 sistem
9. We found one 2 years ago, then lost pluto today.
Aren't there nine? I can't remember either...I read all through Earth Science - all she did was talk about other things anyways.
Ya, you can't remember. Read the news there used to be 9 now there is 8. Thanks for the 2 points
12 if you listen to the papers. 9 if you listen to NASA
"That is the conclusion, to be announced today, of an international panel formed to devise a scientific definition of a planet and settle an increasingly intense dispute over whether Pluto qualifies. The panel suggests retaining Pluto and immediately adding three new planets to the nine that are familiar to any schoolchild: Ceres, currently considered a large asteroid; Charon, now considered a moon of Pluto; and Xena, a recently discovered object that is larger than Pluto.'

NASA says Nine
Currently, there are nine well-known planets in our Solar system. But no longer is Pluto a lonely outpost at the edge of an unknown frontier. Continued discoveries reveal that astronomers are only on the verge of discovering vast new worlds beyond - in the Kuiper Belt and possibly the Oort Cloud. At the same time, new moons are also being discovered, both around existing planets and within these mysterious new worlds. Once the existence of a moon is confirmed and its orbit determined, the moon is given a final name by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the organization that assumed this task since 1919.

THERE ARE 8-12 BECAUSE THEY KOCKED OFF PLUTO AND DISCOVORED 3 MORE
8
I read in school that they were 9 namely in their order from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn(with a Ring), Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. I hope I'm right
8, Pluto was demoted today
9- because although Pluto has been removed, there is still "Susan" and "UB313" to add to all the normal ones.
nine-till now.
it is in news that pluto is excluded..in that way 8.
it was also inthe news that 3 more are to be included-charon,2003UB313(xena... not yat finalise.
8 As of today.......
8, poor 'oul Pluto has been taken off the list...
Kids in school are gonna be left wonderin' just what were the 9 things the very educated mother just showed her child...
Nine, no twelve, no thirteen, no several hundred- er - thousand...
we're out of names... Eight!! That solves the confusion!
And makes most Terran astronomers happy as simply circling the sun as a definition for planets is too BROAD now that 1% of the solar crap floating out there has been mapped.
Although those of us studying your system due miss the planet
located between Mars and Jupiter... some cultural disagreement regarding worship and resources WAS ultimitely resolved...
The 'lucky' few escaped to the third planet and fifth planet and several 'moons'..
