How Many Planets Are There In The Solar System?

Before scientists collectively decided the qualifications of a planet, meaning how large a solid body has to be to be considered a planet, was changed there were nine: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Now that things have changed Pluto is no longer considered a planet. It has been deemed too small by new standards. There are only eight planets now, Pluto is now known as a dwarf planet. Two other celestial bodies that fall under this new category are Ceres and Eris.

It is quite simple, there are 7 planets in the solar system (you wouldn't have to be a rocket scienist to figure out that one).
