How many planets in the solar system?


Question:


Answer:
Eight, at the moment.
8, now. Sorry, Pluto.
8 cuz pluto is not a planet anymore
8, Pluto was given the boot
8 now and 1 dwarf planet, Pluto which happened just last week.
only 8 now - it was 9 for the last 80 years up until last week. now Pluto is just a cartoon dog
pluto just got kicked out of the solar system..so 8
Eight "classical planets" and upward of fifty four "dwarf planets."
8, Pluto was kicked out.
Somewhere between eight and 12. Didn't you learn anything in Science Class? lol
8. The Plutonians are going to be pissed.
Well since the small planet of Pluto is now gone there are only eight.
Appearently less than there was last week.
But they're all still arguing about it all, so I don't really know.
I'll say 8, but next week there could B more, or less than 8.
8
8. On August 26, 2006 Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet. It is now just Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
How do I use google?

8
i guess we have 8 planets and pluto is now a "sub-planet" damn scientists!!
Officially there are only 8 now. Pluto got demoted.
( as all the others answered before. but the real interesting thing is the new defintion of planet, wich contains now the addition that a planet surrounding space must be free of asteroids, planetoids and other rocky things in space. and cause of this definition plute and is twin Charon droped out the Defintion of a planet, like Xena, another candidate for planeting.
all thees "too big for a planetoid and to smal for a planet things" are now grouped in a own category called "dwarf-planets"!

so charon and pluto, Xena and the other are from now on Dwarf-Planets ;)
In our solar system there is 9 planets but now scientist proved that pluto is now a planet so now we have 8
there are 9 solar planets,uranas,mercury,pluto,m... saturn,venus neptune
8
Depending on which system of definition you believe, either 8, 9, or 12.
8 pluto is now a dwarf planet along with zina and plutos moon
including dwarf planets? Pluto was my favourite, hell it still is! I'm sticking with 9 cause I feel bad for Pluto.does this mean that they have to rename the DIsney dog to something else? Hopefully they aren't moving down the line of planets and decide to rename the Disney Dog Uranus! Poor dog!
8 now.
