The order of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. However, Pluto the largest known dwarf planet next to Eris, is no longer considered a planet at all. It is now known as the largest member of a distinct region called the Kuniper Belt. Therefor there are officially only 8 planets in our Solar System. There is a region of the solar system located roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter called the asteroid belt . It is occupied with numerous irregular shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. Not to be confused with actual planets. Ceres is the only object in the belt large enough for its gravity to force it into a roughly round shape, and so, according to the IAU's 2006 resolution on the definition of a planet, it is now considered a dwarf planet.
