I thought there were ten planets, with the sun as the first planet, Mercury as the second planet, and so on up to Pluto as the tenth planet. This was because I had a picture dictionary where one of the pages was of the solar system, and it listed the sun first, and then the nine planets. (This was before Pluto was demoted to dwarf planet.)
