  • Planets in Our Solar System: Understanding the Eight Official Planets
    There is no "twelfth planet" from the sun. Our solar system currently has eight officially recognized planets:

    1. Mercury

    2. Venus

    3. Earth

    4. Mars

    5. Jupiter

    6. Saturn

    7. Uranus

    8. Neptune

    Pluto, which was once considered the ninth planet, was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.

    There have been theories and claims about a "Planet Nine" or "Planet X" existing beyond Neptune, but these are currently unproven.
