Question Marathon for Solar System B.

Alright, I guess I'll start this with an easy one.

What are the 8 planets in order from the sun? What are the five dwarf planets in our solar system.

Protip: there are five dwarf planets in the solar system.

That's up for debate, I count three.

I could find some sources to show that it's more likely to be defined as five. Everything is up for debate...but if we went by IAU definitions perhaps that could end it.

The only debate I see is if there are five or more than five. The IAU currently recognizes five (Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea, Makemake), and there are many more objects that could gain dwarf planet status that have not done so yet or have not been discovered.

http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/index.cfm says 5 at the bottom

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Huamea, Makemake

Since nobody has told me if I was right... I am going to assume that I got it right, so here it is...

What is the planet in our solar system that is the most similar to Earth?

That depends on what you mean by similar, but I'm saying Venus.
