Then it is still the 9th planet of the Solar System.

It's actually not a type of planet.

Planets are planets. Dwarf planets are dwarf planets.

Dwarf planets are just a variant of planet.

I agree with the decision, but the name itself was always stupid. Should've classified them as something like planetoid.

Asteroid, planetoid, dwarf planet, and minor planet (and plutoid for train-neptunian objects) could all be used to describe the same object, which is why the decision to make up a new term when they could've simplified the naming convention was especially dumb. They've turned it into an even bigger mess. Should've reclassified the current dwarf planets as planetoids, retired minor planet, and used asteroid for smaller objects as we currently popularly understand them to be.

Neptune is a fierce, independent planet. She can afford her own rings!

All the gas giants have rings, they just aren't large, or visible as Saturn's.

I know but when people talk about ringed planets they usually talk about Saturn so I was just confused.

I thought the amount of rings changed constantly because of the nature of them. Are they actually consistent?

There's an exoplanet out there with rings 200 times the size of Saturn's.

no what I was talking about was the ring groupings.

Saturn has four main groups of rings and three fainter, narrower ring groups.

and even then i misquoted it
