How many planets in our solar system?
Question:
Answer:
apparently there are only eight now with Pluto being declared not a planet.
i think it is a weird thing to happen, but hopefully the astronomers know what they are doing
mercury, venus, earth, mars, (asteroid belt), jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune...
Pluto is demoted or else they would have to consider innumerable Kuiper belt objects as planets and our solar system would turn into a mess!
I guess 8
if they can make their bloody mind up about Pluto we should know.
Pluto IN, there are now 12. Out, 11
there were nine, but it seem that pluto is not longer a planet, so i don't know, maybe in few days we will find out that there is no planet in our ss
DEPENDS IF YOU COUNT PLUTO AS A PLANET
Eight.
Well, after pluto was demoted, only eight - but only until they confirm the other planets beyond Pluto.
9, Leave Pluto alone.
then maybe 7
I'd guess eight. You?
Now there are 8 because apparently Pluto can't be a planet because it switches places with Neptune every once in a while
according to the all powerfdul asrometers from the czeck republic, 8
8 now - pluto doesn't count anymore - poor pluto!
There were 9 but now there are only 8........ so sad.........
According to Yahoo! News (see below), there are now 8 planets. I searched NASA's site and found nothing on the demotion of Pluto so as far as their web site is concerned, there are still nine.
Planets: The eight worlds from Mercury to Neptune.
Dwarf Planets: Pluto and any other round object that "has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and is not a satellite."
Small Solar System Bodies: All other objects orbiting the Sun.
there are a grand total of 8 that we are not bitching about. I think there are actually about 12.
So I guess the new mnemonic should be:

?

Here is a show stopper wrap your brian around this one....
"Pluto is not a planet," Brown said. "There are finally, officially, eight planets in the solar system."
