Many people say that there are only eight planets in our solar system since Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet. Astronomers mostly consider planets and dwarf planets together when they count the number of planets in the solar system. A few more dwarf planets have been found, or at least put in the category of dwarf planets. More can be expected.
The 8 planets:
1. Mercury
2. Venus
3. Earth
4. Mars
5. Jupiter
6. Saturn
7. Uranus
8. Neptune
The 5 dwarf planets:
1. Ceres (an asteroid)
2. Pluto
3. Haumea (Kuiper Belt Object)
4. Makemake (Kuiper Belt Object)
5. Eris (Kuiper Belt Object)
Objects in the solar system are named after different figures in Earth history, usually mythological.
If the object is near the orbit of Neptune, but not 1:1, it's given the name of a mythical figure associated with the underworld (like Pluto and Orcus).
If the object is outside Neptune's orbit and is stable enough to last there long, it's given the name of a mythological figure associated with creation (like Quaoar and Haumea)
They were named after the Roman gods. and the greek and Anglo saxson gods
Dwarf planets include Ceres (between mars and Jupiter - the largest object in the asteroid belt), Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris.
