Current definitions by the International Astronomical Union define a planet as a body that is in orbit around the Sun , has sufficient mass for its self - gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibirum ( nearly round ) shape , and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit or within another system . The Earth ' s solar system consists of eight planets . ( A former ninth planet , Pluto , was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 , and reclassified again as a plutoid - - celestial objects that lie within the solar system ' s Kuiper belt - - in 2008 . ) The planets in Earth ' s solar system have long been a subject of fascination for humans , in part because they appear as bright " wanderers " among the traditional stellar constellations . Many of them have been named after mythological gods , and fantastic stories have been written about them through history . One of the most prominent appearances in art during the beginning of the 20th century was Gustav Holst ' s " The Planets " , a symphonic suite inspired by the celestial bodies .
