8 ~ right now ! PLUTO got screwed !
There were 8, but then Pluto was disqualifyed as a Planet. So I don't know :(
i'm sad pluto was my favorite. so blue so icy.so sad...now there are 8. bah i say!
8 right now, Pluto got demoted. :(
9, no 8, no it's 9, 8.5, no really 9ish 8...i think.
There is nine planets including earth in our solar system. But some scientists think they have found a tenth planet.
poor Pluto. I think it's pretty racist.
8 planets and a few "mini" planets.
8. There use to be 9. But today the Internation Science Administration declared that because they eliminated Pluto from the solar system. It's now a dwarf.
According to them there is only 8 planets , but to me there are many more including those in the kuiper belt . It's all in the mind ..
there are really only 9 planets but today NASA stripped Pluto form being a planet so now there are 8 know.but then they made Pluto's moon , the asteroid nickname''Xena'', and a comet Ceres are all becoming planets.so there are 11 planets in our solar system.
There are 9. Although there is a new debate on whether they should keep Pluto or not; due to another "planet" they found...
Now I`m told 8..that's sad 2 see what was the world thinking in the past...I guess more 2 come stay tune...if your a boy now U might really be a girl...PeAcE
8 now
8

Always has been

Always will be

Are your some religious creationist nut or something?

Some Commie freak!

EVERYONE knows there is only 8 planets!

And Saturn is the Only Ringed Planet
and Jupiter has 12, no 15, not 18, not 20

How many moonds does Jupiter have?

I remeber only 12!
I'm ok with 8 planets. Pluto is now the leader of a new classification of "smaller worlds" (dwarf) that we are only recently discovering in the "outer asteroid belt" (Kuiper). As time goes by, we'll find hundreds of them, but Pluto is #1. Not bad.
Pluto has been considered a planet since 1930, so no one can tell me otherwise.
