What are the names of the planets in our solar system?

Answer 1

As of 2017, it depends on whether you count major planets only, Major planets plus dwarf planets, or all planets.

The 8 major known planets in order from the Sun are:

1. Mercury
   
2. Venus
   
3. Earth
   
4. Mars
   
5. Jupiter
   
6. Saturn
   
7. Uranus
   
8. Neptune
   

If you list ALL 13 known planets in order, including dwarf planets, they are:

1. Mercury
   
2. Venus
   
3. Earth
   
4. Mars
   
5. Ceres
6. Jupiter
   
7. Saturn
   
8. Uranus
   
9. Neptune
10. Pluto
11. Haumea
12. Makemake
13. Eris

Dwarf planets also fall under the category of minor planets, of which there are thousands in our solar system. As of 2017, the orbits of 734,274 minor planets were archived at the Minor Planet Center, 496,815 of which had received permanent numbers. The largest minor planet that is not considered to be a dwarf planet is Sedna.

Names of the Planets

1. Mercury - named after the Roman mythological counterpart of Hermes, the Greek god of messengers, commerce, thieves, and sports. Named as such because of the speed at which it revolves around the Sun.
2. Venus - named after the Roman mythological counterpart of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty.
3. Earth (also known by its Latin name, "Terra") - named after the titan of the Earth from Greek mythology.
4. Mars - named after the Roman mythological counterpart of Ares, the Greek God of War.
5. Jupiter - named after the Roman mythological counterpart of Zeus, the Greek king of the gods.
6. Saturn - named after the Roman god of agriculture and harvest, Saturn. He is the Roman mythological counterpart of Cronus (Kronos), the Greek titan who fathered Zeus.
7. Uranus - named after the Greek mythological Father of the Sky, Ouranos. "Uranus" is the Latin translation of "Ouranos".
8. Neptune - named after the Roman mythological counterpart of Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all made primarily of gas and are very large. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are small and made of rock.

Pluto was considered a planet from 1930 to 2006, but was reclassified as a "dwarf planet", because many Pluto-like bodies were discovered in orbits past Neptune.

The dwarf planets are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Eris, and Makemake.

The names of our planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. Pluto isn't really classified as a planet anymore, (which I hate) but it is now a Dwarf Planet.

Another way to remember the planets names is to make a cool rhyme or little

poem. Like this one:

My Very Eager Mother Just Sold Us Notebooks
According to the 2006 definition by the IAU, there are 8 "planets" in our solar system:

1. Mercury
2. Venus
3. Earth
4. Mars
5. Jupiter
6. Saturn
7. Uranus
8. Neptune

Furthermore, there are a number of large moons orbiting the gas giant planets, and there are several dwarf planets including the former "planet" Pluto (reclassified in 2006). Many new candidates for the dwarf category have been found past the orbit of Neptune.

The planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. In 2006 the IAU redefined planets and reclassified Pluto, demoting it from planet to minor or dwarf planet - so now we are considered to have only eight. If there is a ninth, it would have to 1) be in hydrostatic equilibrium, 2) be in orbit around the sun, and 3) to have cleared its orbit.
With the reclassification of the term "planet" in 2006, there are only eight planets in the solar system, and Pluto is considered a "dwarf planet".

The remaining 8 planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Answer 4

The Earth has a satellite that's ka the Moon. It has no planets. The solar system of which the Earth's a part has eight planets counting Earth. Their names, in their order from the center of the solar system ka the sun, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto used to be called the ninth planet. But it was downsized, on August 24, 2006, to the status of dwarf. In the dwarf category, it keeps company with Ceres, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake.

Answer 5

There are only eight recognized planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. In the past, Pluto was considered a planet; now, it is officially (by the I.A.U.) considered a "dwarf planet".
