Actually, I think its more accurate to rewrite them so that there are only eight.

[Muhammad]

I'm not very religious , but God mentioned in the Qur'an, more then 1400 years ago, that there are 11 planets in the solar system.

Any one ever read Zacharia Sitchin?

[kleeman]

Xena and Gabrielle (planet and moon) the dark dynamic le----n duo. Astronomy isn't the same as when I was a teenager.

Pluto was down graded from a planet earlier this year as they recon it is just a ball of ice

[InsertNameHere]

Didn't they put down pluto and add a classification as a dwarf planet?

SO we have 8 full planets?

[DigitalAxis]

8 planets, and at least four dwarf planets: Eris, Pluto and Charon, and Ceres (the largest and first-discovered main-belt asteroid)
