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.
