( as all the others answered before. but the real interesting thing is the new defintion of planet, wich contains now the addition that a planet surrounding space must be free of asteroids, planetoids and other rocky things in space. and cause of this definition plute and is twin Charon droped out the Defintion of a planet, like Xena, another candidate for planeting.
all thees "too big for a planetoid and to smal for a planet things" are now grouped in a own category called "dwarf-planets"!
so charon and pluto, Xena and the other are from now on Dwarf-Planets ;)

8. On August 26, 2006 Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet. It is now just Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

including dwarf planets? Pluto was my favourite, hell it still is! I'm sticking with 9 cause I feel bad for Pluto....does this mean that they have to rename the DIsney dog to something else? Hopefully they aren't moving down the line of planets and decide to rename the Disney Dog Uranus! Poor dog!

Depending on which system of definition you believe, either 8, 9, or 12.
