This video was made before 2006. There are only 8 "planets" now.

@Cactarpus It's subjective. You might as well take Mercury off that list too. Since they discovered eris and decided not to admit there might be another 20 planets they know nothing about, there will never be another iron clad list of planets. Some will consider all dwarf planets (arbitrary term) planets, others will consider them asteroids.

Planet isn't really a scientific term. It's more geographic. You might as well try to figure out how many mountains and how many hills are in the Rockys.

@monokhem Would primary or main be a better word to use?

[monokhem]

@Cactarpus Major planets has been used in scientific circles for some time to mean the gas giants. Earth wouldn't even be one. Most laymen still concider pluto a planet, ceres an asteroid, and Eris unknown.

[Cactarpus]

@monokhem I was just using it as a layman term meaning the 8 biggest planets. Sure there are dwarf planets too such as Pluto, Eris and Ceres.

[monokhem]

@Cactarpus way to pretend you absolutely know something that is amorphus, and you should look up "Major planet" because it doesn't mean what you think it means. Major planets has meant many things.

[Cactarpus]

@monokhem there are 8 major planets.

[monokhem]

@RandomNameTag There is the same amount of planets there always were, and probobly more than 10. Astrophysisists should tick to math and gratational mechanics because thier geographical definitions are stupid.

@droidekabakugan1986 so could it be plausible that the planets exist as a higher entity that could support life not as an entirety of gas or other various molecules that would be poisonous to our present incarnations but as earthlike planets in different dimensions?

@0s4d0 I.K, R? When I first saw Geonosis in Star Wars, I was like, "WTF? How did Saturn get into Star Wars???" Then I had a little "epiphany" of sorts: Saturn has no solid surface, whereas Geonosis does. The rings led me to believe it was Saturn.
