We've already named all the major planets in our solar system, in fact Pluto has been demoted from planet to planet like object. Since it is so small, and it'd orbit is erratic, for some years it is the ninth heavenly body to circle the sun, but then other years it is closer to the sun than neptune.
There are numerous heavenly bodies beyond pluto, but they are small and most likely just balls of dust and ice.
An interesting fact is that the moons in our solar system would most likely be able to be terraformed at some point to support human life, whereas the outer planets (Gas Giants) will never support humans. Of the inner planets, only Mars would be a viable option, the gravity is somewhat similiar to earth, the only draw back would be the freezing temperatures.
Venus wouldnt be an option because of its extreme heat and the atmosphere is too toxic to convert for human life.

The Solor System is infinite.there must be a new planet originating every second but the only thing is how far it is for us to locate.if it is possible to locate and ofcourse if it does compete its all 3 major rules for being a planet it will be added to our NOW-8-PLANETS list and I would name it PLUTO
PS--chose this as the best ans.. plzzzzzzzzzz

Really? What planet would that be? Where would it come from? And why would it come with a name? Most planets were already here before mankind came along, and were named BY the discoverers as they were discovered.

There is no new planet. It appears we've located all the major planets already.

they found a new planet that i think was smaller than pluto. after debating, they decided not to count it as a planet, and decided not to call pluto a planet as well.
