Somewhere in the area of 279,722 "minor planets" that we know of according to the minor planet center and growing constantly. These are of course dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets which are the majority of the bodies orbiting our sun.
At present, the International Astronomical Union classifies five objects as dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake. At least another fifty known objects in the Solar System are dwarf planets. Estimates are that up to 200 dwarf planets may be found when the entire region known as the Kuiper belt is explored, and that the number might be as high as 2,000 when objects scattered outside the Kuiper belt are considered.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recognises eight planets in our solar system (from closest to sun to furthest); Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
A further five dwarf planets are recognised; Ceres (in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter), Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris.
Several further dwarf planet candidates have been discovered beyond Pluto's orbit, but are yet to be formally classified.
Including Pluto as a planet, there are nine.
There are officially eight planets and five dwarf planets in our solar system, as recognised by the International Astronomical Union.
There used to be 9, but since Pluto is now a dwarf planet......do the math. There are now 8 planets (not including the dwarf planets) in the solar 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.
There are 8 planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. There are also many dwarf planets. The most common of these are Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake. There are many more other large objects in space that are still waiting to be officially classed as dwarf planets.
In our solar system, there are officially 4 rocky planets: Mercury Venus Earth Mars The small dwarf planet called Pluto is also rocky.
Our solar system is made of the planets, the sun(which is our star), asteroids, moons, comets. In our Solar System we also have the planets, Mercury, Venus,Earth,Mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus and Neptune.

Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake are five dwarf planets in our solar system. There are many dwarf planets some discovered and some undiscovered.
8. Funny how you phrase it "your solar system"
Our solar system has 8 regular planets and a number of dwarf planets.
There are currently 5 dwarf planets that are being recognized.

It is not known. Scientists are still not sure how many dwarf planets are in the solar system or how many true planets are in the galaxy. If estimates from our solar system apply elsewhere, however, the number is probably in the trillions.

In our solar system there are 8 true planets and hundreds of dwarf planets, in other solar systems around 404 planets have been named.
8 planets and 5 dwarf planets, so 13 in total. There are some additional dwarf planet candidates that have not been officially categorised yet.
Unless you are an alien from another star from me, 8 planets, with a small handful of dwarf planets.
Since the 2006 reclassification of Pluto to a Dwarf Planet, there are now eight planets in our solar system.
