How many planets does our solar system have, IYO?

8. If we are going to count Pluto, then we would also need to count the other dwarf planets in our system.

And Pluto deserves no love.

Pluto isn't a planet it is a dwarf planet. Tehnically, its a planet, just not a planet like Mercur, Venus, Earth, Mars etc. Same with white dwarfs, they are stars, just not stars like the Sun.

8. Pluto is just too small to consider a planet.
