∙ 11y agoNo planets in our solar system start with the letter C, and thus far we really haven't "named" any extrasolar planets (they get designations instead, and there are quite a few "c"s there, since "c" is by definition the designation for the third planet discovered orbiting any given star).
The dwarf planet Ceres does begin with a C. About the same thing happened to Ceres that happened to Pluto ... it was initially considered a new planet (along with the next three largest asteroids, which were discovered shortly afterward), but about 50 years later new asteroids started being discovered at an alarming rate and we realized "that's not a planet, that's a big chunk of space junk".
