there are now 12 planet's in or solar system ... but i can't remenber what the names of them are can any one here remenber the names?

i heard that almost every one is calling pluto a dawf planet ... is that true tell me?

these are the 3 planets found

(1)people are also saying that pluto's moon charon is a dawf planet of it's own

(2)there was a planet found between jupiter and mars... i think

(3)there was a dawf planet found beyond pluto

According to the accepted definition, there are 8 planets, and not 12: the previous draft proposal has been rejected. You can have more information here.
About the dwarf planet, it is basicaly a planet that is slightly too small to really be a planet.

This is freaky. It's not every day you lose a planet.

so now there's 8 planets?... i feel like a dough nut saying there's 12 planets...LOL

Actually, it could have been, and I thought it was until a few hours before your post, when I saw the article in the main page of the Wikipedia. They changed their mind at then end

I'm still going to call Pluto a planet. It's my step on the way to becoming a grumpy unchangable old man.
