How many planets does our galaxy have?

Answer 1

One. The Milky Way is our galaxy. Every star you see in the sky at night with your naked eye is in the Milky Way. The closest galaxy to ours is the Andromeda Galaxy, which you can see if you look in the right place, but it will just look like a fuzzy blob and not like a star. The milky way is the name of our galaxy, there are no other galaxies in it.

Answer 2

There may be up to 100 billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy according to Alan Boss, an astronomer with the Carnegie Institution and author of the new book "The Crowded Universe: The Search for Living Planets." There are 8 planets in our solar system.

Answer 3

We are not sure yet how many planets there are yet because they are very hard to detect.

Their light is minimal compared to their parent star, and in comparison they are so small. That is why it is impossible to tell how many planets there are in the galaxy, with current technology.

Only a few "exoplanets" (planets orbiting other stars) have been discovered, but all have different traits. None are like Earth as far as we know.

However we are aware of how many Stars there are in our Galaxy. There are approximatively 200 billion Stars in the Milky Way Galaxy alone. In the Andromeda Galaxy, there are approximatively 400 billion.

That is not counting all of the other galaxies! ;)
