  In our solar system, there are currently eight recognized planets. Their names, are in order of their distance from the Sun, are:

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

  It’s important to note that in the past, Pluto was considered the ninth planet in our solar system. However, in 2006, it was reclassified as a “dwarf planet” by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
