How many planets are there in our solar system?
Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun and eight official planets. These planets are, in order of distance from the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. There are also five dwarf planets, which are named Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eres.
