In our own solar system, there are eight major planets, ten dwarf planets, two protoplanets, and thousands of minor planets (asteroids). There are also billions of planets outside our own system, but they shall not be named here (it would be impractical to try). Below is a list, in orbital order, of major objects in the solar system, as well as how many known major objects orbit them:
- Sol (sun) [18 planets, three asteroid belts, two protoplanets, one theoretical dwarf star]
- Mercury (terrestrial planet)
- Venus (terrestrial planet)
- Earth (terrestrial planet) [1 moon, Luna]
- Mars (terrestrial planet) [2 moons]
- Asteroid Belt
- Ceres* (dwarf planet)
- Vesta* (protoplanet)
- Pallas* (protoplanet)
- Jupiter (gas giant) [66 moons]
- Saturn (gas giant) [62 moons]
- Uranus (ice giant) [27 moons]
- Neptune (ice giant) [13 moons]
- Kuiper Belt [asteroids, dwarf planets]
- Orcus+ (dwarf planet) [1 moon, Vanth]
- Pluto+ (dwarf planet) [1 planet, Charon, 3 moons]
- Charon+ (dwarf planet) [1 planet, Pluto, 3 moons]
- Haumea+ (dwarf planet) [2 moons]
- Quaoar+ (dwarf planet) [1 moon, Weywot]
- Makemake+ (dwarf planet)
- Eris (dwarf planet) [1 moon, Dysnomia]
- "Snow White" (2007 OR10) (dwarf planet)
- Sedna (dwarf planet)
- Oort Cloud [comets, asteroids]
- Nemesis# (red dwarf star, theoretical)
*Orbits within Asteroid Belt
+Orbits within Kuiper Belt
#Theoretical, sort of like Bigfoot
What else can I help you with?
Are there more gas planets than rock planets?
Of the 8 planets, four are rocky and four are gas planets, so there are equal numbers.
Are there more stars than planets?
Yes. 200 billions stars and 8 planets in our solar system.
How many planets in your solar systems?
8. Funny how you phrase it "your solar system"
Are there other planets that are discovered by the scientist aside from the 8 planets?
Yes there are. As far as I can remember: Eris and Sedna Im sure more will follow.
How many official planets are there in the milky way?
There are more than 350 known planets in the milky way, with only 8 in our solar system.
Is there really an tenth planet?
No. There are more dwarf planets, but as of the reclassification by the International Astronomical Union in 2006, there are only 8 planets, not including Pluto.
How many more planets did they discover?
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.
Sentence with the word system in it?
our solar system contains more than 8 planets
What do the 8 planets orbit in?
The 8 planets orbit around the Sun, in ellipses.
8 p in the s s?
8 planets in the solar system
How many are planets?
Well there are 8 planets.If you don't add Pluto which is not a planet any more.
Is there a solar system that has 8 planets besides ours?
Other stars, other than our own, have had multiple planets detected in an orbit around them. Its highly likely that there are other systems with eight planets. Planets the size of mercury or even slightly bigger planets the size of the Earth are extremely difficult to detect, so a star with four or five large known planets may actually have a lot more planets.
