How many planets are in our solar system?
Question:
Answer:
Under the current definition, eight.
9
Nine, if you count Pluto.
8
8, not counting Pluto
8; I believe they reduced Pluto to a star.
Pluto was recently counted as a moon so 8.
But in reality it is more because moons should be counted as half planets
well it was 9, but now pluto is consider a dwarf planet, so 8...but screw the scientists, pluto is a planet! and plus if it was, it ruins the acronym (My very earthly mother just served us nine pancakes!)
9
This year or last year?
8
8
it depends on who's definition of what makes a planet a planet. with that said there are between8 and 11 planets
There are eight planets in our solar system.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Sedna is bigger than Pluto, so if Pluto is a planet, so is Charon (the largest of Pluto's three known moons), so is Sedna, so is Varuna, so is Quoaor, and why not Ceres? Our MOON is bigger than Pluto.
The reason Pluto is NOT a planet is because it has not cleared its orbital path of such debris. It cannot, until it swells up more, which is unlikely to ever happen.
The definition of a planet is not all that great, but it works for me.
ten,one is invisible that the aliens have for bases .were not allowed into space since they told our government not to go past earths orbit .no human has left earths orbit since 1972.only unmanned craft are allowed to leave and we do what they say since were part them and are there children so to speak,and they do mind control our leaders and threaten us with extermination if we don't do as they say
Well, with the exception of Pluto being downgraded to space debris or an asteroid or whatever, there is 8. However, Astronomers discovered a body outside of Pluto's orbit about two years ago. They started searching for the possibility of a tenth planet when they noticed that Puto's orbit was irregular. At this point, I do not know if this other celestial body has been confirmed as another planet or not. So, if you include Pluto and this unconfirmed body, there is 10.
8 planets and 3 dwarf planets
To date there are 8 major planets and 3 dwarf planet's. If asked this question request and explanation as to whether dwarf planets are to be counted.
Major Planets. (in order of distance)
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Dwarf Planets
Pluto (formal considered a full blown planet.)
Eris (Also refered to as 2003 UB313 and The Tenth Planet
Ceres (formally considered to be an asteroid)
According to the "geniuses" at the National Science Association, there are 8. But screw that, the planets in our solar system are the only things that got me through the Greek/Rome mythology test a while back.
You already knew the answer when you posted this question, which begs the follow-up question, Why do you ask?
There are, of course, nine planets in our solar system - there always have been, and there likely always will be, at least in our lifetimes. That a markedly small minority of the assembly voted otherwise does not make the answer 'eight', and those respondents here that answered 'eight' have it wrong (there are few absolutes in life, but this is one of them).
You have to decide who (or is it whom?) you're going to accept as an authority. But like I say, the correct answer is nine.
There are currently 8 planets in the solar system.It was 9 until they discover that Pluto was too small to be a planet.
