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 by the IAU;

Ceres (in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter), Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris.

Several further dwarf planet candidates have been discovered beyond Plutos orbit, but are yet to be formally clasified by the IAU. These include; Orcus, Ixion, Varuna, Quaoar and Sendna among others.
