Currently, there are eight planets in our solar system. The farthest one is Neptune. Neptune has an average distance of about 2.8 billion miles or 4.5 billion kilometers from the sun. Because its orbit is elliptical, its distance from the sun changes depending on where it is in its orbit. The closest Neptune gets to the sun is 2.771 billion miles or 4.459 billion kilometers. The farthest it gets from the sun is 2.795 billion miles or 4.495 billion kilometers.

In 2006 scientists from all over the world decided the definition of a planet, and also decided on what a Dwarf Planet is. According to those definitions, there will most likely be no new Planets, but instead many newly discovered Dwarf Planets such as Pluto. Most Dwarf Planets are in the Kuiper Belt which is 30-50 Astronomical Units from the Sun.
