There are 8 planets:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
But there used to be nine planets and the ninth planet was Pluto, but then later on they found proof and said that Pluto wasn't a planet which was part of our solar system cause it was too far from the sun to get enough light. So it is classified as a part of the Dwarf Planets, now.
