For almost seven decades, we were taught that there are nine planets and Pluto was the ninth planet and was the farthest from the sun..... But in todays paper there is a news that Pluto is no more a planet. And this has been decided by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The reason being...." Its tiny size and highly eccentric orbit precludes it from joining other planets"...
So from now on there is only eight planets which belong to the 'Planets' family.
