Question

How many planets are in our sollar system{please give the names}?

Answer 1

Eight major or classical planets are currently recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the body that gives official names to objects in the solar system. The planets are commonly divided into two groups: the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) and the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The inner planets are small and are composed primarily of rock and iron. The outer planets are much larger and consist mainly of hydrogen, helium, and ice. Pluto, historically counted as the ninth planet, does not belong to either group, and was reclassified as a dwarf planet by the IAU in 2006. Some astronomers have objected to the reclassification of Pluto and the new IAU definition of a planet.

Answer 2

that other planet that is outside pluto is called Nibiru. That planet is going to come n orbit with us causes a polar shift 2012. The closer it gets the more its gravitational pull and ours collide causing more natural disasters,which has already started. check out Zeitgeist on youtube for some interesting facts about the space and religion.

Pluto was once classified as a planet, but was later stripped of the status.

Answer 4

Answer 5

There are 8 planets in our solar system:

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

The link below has a picture of the planet sizes, it's interesting:

PS. Pluto is in the picture but it is NOT a planet anymore, it used to be a planet, though. So, there are officially 8 planets in our solar system.

Answer 6

Here are the eight planets, and the dwarf planet Pluto, with their orbital elements, so you can figure out where they will appear in Earth's sky on any given night. If you need help with the math, go here:

Answer 7

When pluto was considered a planet we used to use this memory gimmick to help us recall their names and their order moving away from the sun

My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas

Mercury venus earth mars jupiter saturn neptune pluto

See how the first letter of each word matches the first letter of the planet's name.

The first four are the terrestial planets, cause they are like out terrain, the next four are the gas giants also referred to as the Jovian planets and poor little Pluto has been demoted to a lesser status.

Pluto will always be a planet to me but if you want to eliminate it then, I guess

My very educated mother just served us nutmeg.....lol

Plus Dwarf Planet (ex planet) Pluto

Answer 11

Based on the current definition of a planet there are eight.

http://www.iau.org/public_press/news/rel...

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

RESOLUTION 5A

The IAU therefore resolves that planets and other bodies in our Solar System, except satellites,be defined into three distinct categories in the following way:

(1) A "planet"1 is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.

(2) A "dwarf planet" is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape2, (c) has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, and (d) is not a satellite.

(3) All other objects3, except satellites, orbiting the Sun shall be referred to collectively as "Small Solar System Bodies".

1The eight planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

2An IAU process will be established to assign borderline objects into either dwarf planet and other categories.

3These currently include most of the Solar System asteroids, most Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), comets, and other small bodies.

Answer 12

mercury

venus

earth

mars

jupiter

saturn

uranus

neptune

pluto is now a dwarf planet and there are two other planetoid bodies (that i know) way out there that are indeed part of our solar system. but i can't recall their names atm.

Answer 13

Mercury

Venus

Earth

Mars

Jupiter

Saturn

Uranus

Neptune

Pluto was once classified as a planet, but now it is considered as a dwarf planet.therefore now the total planets are to 8
