There are eight recognised major planets which orbit The Sun. Starting nearest to the Sun and travelling outwards the planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Six out of the eight planets in our solar system have moons. (Mercury and Venus are the only two that do not.)
Earth has no planets of its own. It is one and has one moon.
There are 8 planets.

There are eight planets that orbit the sun in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
There are eight.
By the current definition of a planet, adopted in 2006, there are eight major planets that we currently know about. In order: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
There are eight major planets, ten dwarf planets (sometimes called "plutoids"), and two protoplanets known to be in the solar system. Bear in mind, however, that, as we are always expanding the horizons of our knowledge the numbers quite possibly will change. For a list of major objects (such as planets and plutoids) in the solar system, see related links.
As of December 26, 2008, there are eight planets.

As of August 24th, 2006 when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined what it means to be a "planet" within our Solar System, we officially stand with eight planets. Within our system we have eight planets (major). As of December 2011 there are 310376 numbered minor planets with an estimated similar count which have not been numbered. Five minor planets have been officially classified as "dwarf planets", of the minor planets, another 390 are being considered for designation as a dwarf planet.
