How many planets in ower solar system are discovered?
Question:
Answer:
There is always a possibility but your question is impossible to answer with certainty until such a discovery is made. Discovering new planets is pretty tricky but infinitely easier than predicting the future.
If we knew how many more planets there were to be discovered in the Solar System then we would have already discovered them.
It seems highly unlikely that any more planets that are discovered will be regarded as "true planets" as even Pluto has now been declassified as a true planet, leaving 8 recognised "true planets". Pluto and its smaller binary companion Charon, together with the yet un-named body beyond are now known as "dwarf planets" and any further bodies are likely to be similarly classified.
There used to be 9 (Mercury, Venus Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto), but recently scientists decided Pluto is not classified as a planet, so there are 8.
It's POSSIBLE that more planets can be discovered with greater technology, but not very likely!
yes its possible...do you believe in aliens??
There are now "officially" eight planets in the Solar System. Pluto got dropped off the list last year. Pluto is now classified as a "Kuiper (sp?) Belt object." There are several such objects in orbit out there; at least one of them is bigger than Pluto.
So far 8 planets have been discovered. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
There are also 3 "dwarf planets" Pluto, Eris and Ceres.
Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.
yeaa mayb..
The Solar System comprises the Sun and the retinue of celestial objects gravitationally bound to it: the eight planets, their 162 known moons, three currently identified dwarf planets and their four known moons, and thousands of small bodies. This last category includes asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and interplanetary dust.
So u c there are now only 8 planets but there may be a chance of finding few more planets
There are 8 major planets, at least 5 dwarf planets and thousands of asteroids. So it really depends on where you draw the line between planet and non-planet.
They have to be bigger than Pluto to officially qualify! Technically there are currently 8 but actually we know of 9 fairly large bodies.
well how would u define a planet
there are rite now so many objects going around our sun that are even bigger than earth(namely comets)..but the only reason we dont call them planets is because their orbit is more elliptical than our own.but what if one comet's orbit was in between(and there actally exist thousands of them) that of a planet and a comet .what would u call it.therefore i would say that there are many more planets than what scientists have said there are today
as i said before .the only problem is that there is no definition that has been awarded to what a planet is and what a comet is and what an asteroid is
If a planet is considered as a revolving mass in our solar system then the number exceeds 11 perhaps more than double if the moons of Jupiter etc.. are considered as such celestial bodies.
Our own moon is really revolving around the Sun in an oscilliatory cycloidal orbit which are aprox 13 cycles per year.
Based on the current definition of planet, there are 8 and there will never be more than 8. If there were another one out there, it would have been found by now. Yes, there are probably a bunch of large rocks, some even larger than Pluto, out past Neptune and waiting to be discovered, but they will not be classified as planets - they'll be called Kuiper Belt Objects.
There are eight planets in the solar system. It is highly unlikely that any other planets can exists, because everything beyond the orbit of Neptune are very small objects that were made from left over material after the solar system developed.
Their are eight planets in our solar system. But in school they might still talk about nine. You see their used to be eight planents but since last year scientists have classified Pluto as a dwarf planet; it was far away from the sun and small. The eight planets are:
Mercury
Venus
earth
MArs
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
and if you wanted you could cout Pluto. Those planets may be hard to rember but you could always use the mnemonic device:
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nuggets. you see each of the begging letter stand for the planets. ANd if we were to include Pluto we could use the phrase :
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.
I hope that I answered your questions.
Scientists belive that their could be a planet x. SO there is still hope. As the days go by we are getting closer to this planet. But when you think about another planet is like the discoveries of alien. You would have to think yourself is it is myth or truth. In my opinion it is true since nothing is really impossible.
there are 11 now look.

and a dwarf planet is still a planet dont let others distract you from the truth.
