No. There are MILLIONS of things in orbit around the Sun. The planets are just the biggest few, the ones that are big enough to see from Earth.
In addition to the eight (or nine) planets, there are thousands of asteroids in the asteroid belt and uncounted more beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt.
Add in all the little stuff that's too small to see until it goes streaking through the atmosphere and lights up. Millions? Bah. BILLIONS, more likely.
The two planets with overlapping orbits are Neptune and Pluto. These are the only two planets that have overlapping orbits.
No. It holds for other planets, and for any other situation where one objects orbits another - for example, moons orbiting planets, stars orbiting a black hole, etc.
All the planets in the solar system orbit the sun.
Space does not have an atmosphere. It is generally considered a vacuum. Planets and some moons have atmospheres.
John Glenn made only one space flight ,and it was of three orbits.

Do you mean MOONS? No, only planets have moons. The objects orbiting a star are called planets if they are large enough, and asteroids if they are small. Comets also orbit stars, but in larger orbits that take them out of the solar system and back.
Because both of them not meet the terms to considered as a planet. The technical reason given is: They have not cleared the regions of their orbits of other objects. Unfortunately that's not a nice simple reason. Pluto was only redefined from planet to "dwarf planet" in the year 2006. The problem was that astronomers kept finding new objects in this part of space.
Yes. Of the five recognized dwarf planets only one, Ceres lacks a moon. Dwarf planets are massive objects, far more massive that ordinary asteroids and comets, so they have strong enough gravity to retain moons in stable orbits.
It's because each planets is a collection of all the debris that was going round in a similar orbit before the planets were formed. So the planets only survived to the present day by having different orbits.
No, it only orbits around the sun.
There are 8 planets orbiting the Sun in our solar system.

no, mars along with all of the other planets in the solar system orbits the sun, only a moon or a wondering asteroid can orbit a planet.
The larger outer planets have more satellites because their stronger gravity allows them to capture and hold onto more objects in orbit around them. Additionally, their location farther from the Sun provides more material for moon formation compared to the smaller inner planets.
