Default Simple question

What is the third planet from the Sun?

I ask this as there is only one answer but I am sure that some self
proclaimed expert will even argue with that.

errr - I do mean our Sun btw
further errrr - by us I mean human race.

Define planet

Uranus. Those silly rocky things don't count. More like oversized
Asteroids than real planets.

There is no third planet. Astronomers use a base 10 system of counting.
Sedna or whatever it is we're calling Planet X these days, is the only
planet.
