Following the August 24, 2006 reclassification of Pluto as a "dwarf planet", there are 8 actual planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) and (as of January 2009) 5 dwarf planets (Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris). As of January, 2009, the orbit of another dwarf candidate (Sedna) is still being verified.

How many planets are in solor system?

Given that Pluto is now considered a dwarf, our solar system actually contains 8 planets and 5 dwarf planets. The planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The dwarf planets are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Make, and Eris. To be considered a planet, and not a dwarf planet, the body has to orbit the sun, have enough gravity to pull itself into a sphere, and to have cleared objects out of its orbit.
