...But the list of planets could grow by up to 12 possibly.
More objects are likely to be announced as planets in the future. The IAU (International Astronomical Union) has a "watchlist" of at least a dozen other potential candidates that could become planets once more is known about their sizes and orbits.
These include the distant objects Sedna, Orcus, Quaoar and 2003 EL61 and the asteroids Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea. |

I'm waiting for the planet Vulva. |
