Best Answer

No-one can possibly know for sure, but the answer is probably billions. There are hundreds of billions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy, many of which have solar systems of their own, and as many galaxies in the Universe as there are stars in our own galaxy (and the Milky Way is by no means a particularly large galaxy, just of average size).

If you take all of this into account, the number of planets likely to be in the universe would be many billion.

How many planet in universe?

We have no way of knowing how many, although we do now know that there are other star systems with planets, or notable "accretion discs" (from which planets will form). It is a very difficult area to explore because planets, even very big planets, are a fraction of the size of the stars they surround, and the stars themselves are difficult enough to see. As far as "how many in the universe?" undoubtedly a large amount, but we have absolutely no idea how many that might be.
