There are 8 major planets, and 5 dwarf planets, in our solar system. There are also about a half dozen bodies that may be dwarf planets, though this status has not yet been confirmed. and more than a hundred more that may be considered in the future.

Outside of our Solar System, there are billions. These are called exoplanets.
In addition to the eight planets in our solar system, due to new equipment and new techniques, new planets are being found in other solar systems every week.

It depends on whether you count major planets only, all planets in our solar system, or ALL planets in the entire Galaxy.


The 8 major known planets in order from the Sun are:


1. Mercury

2. Venus

3. Earth

4. Mars

5. Jupiter

6. Saturn

7. Uranus

8. Neptune


If you list ALL 13 known planets in order, including dwarf planets, they are:


1. Mercury

2. Venus

3. Earth

4. Mars

5. Ceres

6. Jupiter

7. Saturn

8. Uranus

9. Neptune

10. Pluto

11. Haumea

12. Makemake

13. Eris


Dwarf planets also fall under the category of minor planets, of which there are thousands in our solar system. As of 2017, the orbits of 734,274 minor planets were archived at the Minor Planet Center, 496,815 of which had received permanent numbers. The largest minor planet that is not considered to be a dwarf planet is Sedna.


In addition to our solar system, there are billions of other solar systems within our Galaxy, with billions of planets. These are called exoplanets.

In our solar system, there are eight (8) major planets and several "dwarf"

planets. Pluto was moved from the 'major' category to the 'dwarf' category

a few years ago.

Outside of our solar system, more than a thousand planets have been discovered

so far, and more are being added almost daily.
