Names of nine planets? Starting from the sun and moving outward we have Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, but bear in mind that Pluto has been reclassified as â¦ a dwarf planet, so the solar system has only 8 planets.
I made the decision not to follow AP style in the case of âBlackâ and âwhiteâ when it applies to describing people in 2009. AP style is to capitalize neither; however, terms such as African American, Negro, Caucasian, Italian American or Asian are all capitalized.
White people, white folks and whites, are all accepted names for the people I identify with and while I find it charming and polite that some folks use the word Caucasian in formal speech on race topics, the dirtiness of the word irks me each and every time I hear it.
