How many planets in your solar system orbit the sun?

Eight, as Pluto and Ceres are now classified as dwarf planets. The other eight planets are (in order of distance from the Sun):MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
Why are your sun and eight planets called the solar system?
The Latin word for sun is sol so solar would represent the sun and system would be all the eight planets.
What does other planets have inside them?
In our solar system all the planets (and Sun) formed from one collapsing nebular. Therefore all the planets have the same stuff inside them. The differences between planets is caused by the differences in their outer layers as the planets formed at different distances form the Sun where the temperatures gradients allowed the condensation of different compounds. When you consider Xenoplanets, we do not know hat they are made of exactly yet.
What are the differences between the sun and a planet?

How does the sun affect the eight planets of our solar system?
The sun is the primary source of external heat for all eight planets, although in the case of some planets it doesn't provide a lot of heat. The sun also is the largest single factor affecting the orbits of the eight planets.
Are there 8 planets from the sun?
There are eight true planets in our solar system.
What is shared by all the planets in the solar system?
