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.
8. Funny how you phrase it "your solar system"
The 3 dwarf planets in our solar system are Pluto, Eris, and Haumea.
There are 8 planets that are not considered dwarf planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
8 planets and 5 dwarf planets, so 13 in total. There are some additional dwarf planet candidates that have not been officially categorised yet.
it is a dwarf planet

There are 13 in total: Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea. It seems likely that several other large objects, such as Sedna, Qaoar and others, will eventually be recognized as dwarf planets. It also seems likely that more dwarf planets will be discovered.
Within our solar system, there are 8 planets, and 4 dwarf planets. There are also over 500 dwarf planets from 2 galaxies that have been discovered orbiting other stars.
Unless you are an alien from another star from me, 8 planets, with a small handful of dwarf planets.
because it is a dwarf planet
The other planets are not similar to dwarf planets.
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.
