According to the International Astronomical Union, there are eight planets in our solar system. However, their 2006 ruling "demoting" Pluto to "dwarf planet" status has been somewhat unpopular, and might be overridden.

In addition to the official eight planets, there are five "dwarf planets" including Pluto and Ceres, and a few thousand asteroids - plus millions of comets, meteors, and other assorted space debris.
