* The 8 Planets: The International Astronomical Union (IAU) officially recognizes eight planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

* Dwarf Planets: Dwarf planets are celestial bodies that meet specific criteria but don't meet all the requirements to be considered a full-fledged planet. The IAU currently recognizes five dwarf planets: Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea.

* Not 12: While there are 13 recognized bodies in our solar system (8 planets + 5 dwarf planets), the total number is not a fixed value. There are other potential dwarf planets awaiting confirmation, and the classification of celestial bodies is constantly evolving.

So, the accurate answer is:

* 8 Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

* 5 Officially Recognized Dwarf Planets: Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea.
