The 5 that are generally enumerated together include Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.

While राहु and केतु are added when enumerated as 7

And addition of the Sun [See. S3Br. iv , 6 , 5 , 1 and 5 MBh. xiii , 913 ; xiv , 1175 ] and moon Ya1jn5. i , 295 MBh. iv , 48 VarBr2S. make it 9 in number. They are termed together as the नवग्रहाः or ‘the nine planets'. Thus, the nine planets include
1. the sun, सूर्य्यः;
2. the moon, चन्द्रः;
3. Mercury, बुधः;
4. Venus, शुक्रः;
5. Mars, मङ्गलः;
6. Jupiter, गुरुः m.;
7. Saturn, शनिः m.;
8. the ascending node, राहुः m.;
9. the descending node, केतुः m.
The two last are considered to be minor planets.
The polar star is also at times referred to as a ग्रह
Ref: Garg. (Jyot. 5 Sch.)
