There are 8 known planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Some say that Pluto is a planet, but in 2006, scientists decided to classify Pluto as a Dwarf planet because of it's small size. So, eight known planets are in the solar system and the Galaxy of the Milky Way.
