Hey, have you heard that a body larger than Pluto has been discovered in the Kuiper Belt? I think that's pretty cool. Last I heard, it may or may not get classified as a new planet.

Yup, I heard about that planet. It is larger than Pluto, and more far away from the Sun. They also told how much time does it take to circle the Sun, but I forget till now.

I also heard there may be hundreds of Kuiper Belt objects larger than Pluto.

There are 11 planets in the solar system. The last three are Pluto, Sedna, and Planet X.

Sedna's the most distant object in the Solar system. It's a planetoid, not a planet. It's smaller than Pluto.
Maybe there's just eight planets.
