i have, apparently, been out of school too long...there are 11 planets! 3 are dwarf planets! what does that even mean?!?! pretty exciting...
Can't remember the 11 planets? 4th-grader offers help - CNN.com: "Maryn Smith, the winner of the National Geographic planetary mnemonic contest, has created a handy way to remember the planets and their order in distance from the sun.
Her award-winning phrase is: My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants.
The 11 recognized planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Eris."

Yeah, but the bigger planets like to beat up the dwarf planets and take their lunch money.
