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.
I do not believe white needs to be capitalized because people in the white majority don't think of themselves in that way. I don't think there's anything wrong with this--it's just how it is. The exception is white supremacists who have a definite vision for what white means.
