We will find out soon! Since 2003 UB313 was discovered, there has been some debate about what constitues a planet. A group of the world's most respected astronomers are meeting to decide exactly how many planets we have in our solar system. Here's the full news story on this event- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4789531.stm At the present time, there are only 9 planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) but this is likely to change soon, making science text books everywhere completely obsolete.

At the moment there are only considered nine planets, but last night I was watching the news and they said that scientists didn't think Pluto was a planet anymore.
