No, the sun is not a planet. It is a star, specifically a main-sequence G-type star, which is located at the center of our solar system and provides light and heat to the planets orbiting around it.

Are we the seventh planet?

Yes the annunaki count planet earth as the seventh planet coming from outside the solar system in. It is also written by Sumerian hystorians years ago. No, the Earth is the third planet from the sun. If you want to count the other direction, you'll have to reinstate Pluto as a planet to make us the seventh one in from the outermost. As things stand officially now, that would make us only the sixth.


If Earth is a planet why is it not part of the count?

When counting the planets in our solar system, Earth is not typically included in the count because we are observing from Earth itself, so it is considered the point of reference. Therefore, when counting the planets, we usually start with Mercury as the first planet and exclude Earth from the count.
