Eight! As pluto has been dis-regarded to be a planet!
PLUTO has been found to be a dwarf planet with UB 313, one of the Kuper Belt Object! However, there are many dwarf planets in our solar system as well (Mainly 3 - from past history)!

Pluto is no longer a planet according to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which decides astronomy facts and stuff. So, it leaves us with 8 planets which is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Dwarf planets are Pluto, Ceres and Eris currently.
Asteroids are Hebe, Iris, Flora, Metis, Hygiea, Parthenope, Victoria, Egeria, Irene, Eunomia, Pallas, Juno, Vesta and Astraea.
All the space objects I mentions are once considered planets before. ^.^

Plutos my favorite planet! To have a favorite comet is kinda... weird...
So that settles it, Pluto should be a planet. Therefore... 9 planets!
Theres something about it being one away from 10 thats just so......something...

8. Pluto lost its planet category some months ago because it does fulfill the requirements to be a planet

After their last big summit on the subject of defining what a planet it, even they are stumped too. They all have different criteria on what a planet is. Its bad when the so called experts don't bloody know.
