10 Planets said. 10 Points for the best answer
10

10
nine!! =D
9 + tht 'UB..' one.. so its 10
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
Nine.
Think they discovered another one beyond Pluto recently.
There are 10 planets, earlier it was 9.
LAST COUNT NINE BUT ONE OR TWO MAY NEED CATEGORISING
Lastly nine, now ten, the newly discovered UB gave some answers.
Nine earlier. now including sedna, ten
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Sedna. Altogether there's 10 planets in our solar syatem.
9+ the UB so thats 10

astronomers are trying to define the word planet, but it isn't easy. many astronomers seem to favor reclassifying the bodies in the solar system into three groups, the rocky terrestrials, the gas giants, and the ice dwarfs. there are hundreds of known ice dwarfs orbiting the sun farther away that neptune, including pluto, quaoar, sedna, 2003 EL61, and 2003 UB313 (the official name of xena). 2003 UB313 is about five percent bigger than pluto. pluto was the first kuiper belt object discovered. this is also called the kuiper belt. the rocky terrestrials are mercury, venus, earth, and mars. the gas giants are jupiter, saturn, uranus, and neptune.

There are currently 9 accepted "Major planets".
There are several other "minor planets" that have been discovered, some of which are in the Kuiper belt, and some in the asteroid belt. These ones are large asteroids, but big enough to be spherical, and therefore can be classed as planets.

we really have to stop calling all these little K-belty object after Neptune as planets.
