How many planets in the solar system???

Use this method

My very easy method just speeds up naming planets

so there is 9 planets in the solar system :D

For the purposes of your homework or for whatever reason you need to know , it's nine. If you want to be padantic and talk about all the undiscovered planets then there could be more, but i don't think it's worth worrying about.

Mentor, how do you find a problem for everything ?

Yup we were talking about this in another thread, I guess most people ignore Edna, it sounds really weird for me to say that cause my Nan was called Edna, I can just imagine her bouncing through space.

OOps. I just googled up a bit of info, and id got the name wrong apparntly its called "Sedna" .
Id only heared it said proviosly, so i must have heard it worng of somthing.

My science teacher once told us about the 10th planet Sedna.
He said that it doesnt really matter as its too far away, if we sent people in a shuttle, by the time they got there, they would be dead.
Its too far away to worry about it being a planet really.

USealy the main reason for descoveing a planet isnt actaly a want to go there? we havent got people past the moon yet, and im skepctical even about that "moon landing footage looks very fake to me, plus probly propergander for space race"


Anyway, give a few 100 years time, id think we woudl probly have devised a faster method of transport than we currantly use.

Lol planet Edna is a funny name, so is Uranus and Sedna but who's to blame?
