We are constantly orbiting around the sun, so there are no planets behind the sun. If you want to know the names of the planets in our solar system, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. However, some people do not consider Pluto to be a planet, because of its odd intersecting orbit with Neptune. Some scientists say that Pluto is a stray asteroid that came into orbit with our sun.
