Several planets have been found outside of our solar system, and we have just begun to search for them seriously. The ones we can observe are relatively close to us (relative to the size of the galaxy and universe), and we have not observed any that seem earth-like in size and/or characteristics. But our technology is improving all the time. There are other planets outside the solar system, but life on those planets is still questionable. You can see online the Hubble telescope to show you other galaxies and planets.

A:Yes, there are more than 300 known planets orbiting other stars. They are called extra-solar planets.
No. The planets are within the Solar System.

Yes. Scientists have identified over 300 "extra-solar" planets or "exo-planets" which are orbiting other stars. So far, most of these are the size of Jupiter or larger; small planets such as Earth aren't massive enough to cause gravitational perturbations in the motion of the star, and not big enough to occult the star visibly.

However, as telescopes improve, this is likely to be achieved.

I believe that there is othere galaxys,solar systems and life in the world because in 1958, a space probe went as far as it could and went through another galaxy with more than 100planets on the vid but then the space probe just turnd off beecause of the atmospheric pressure and other gasses.

Our own sun is named Sol, and the solar system is Sol's system; technically, there is only one solar system, since there is only one Sol, but there are lots of other stars that have planets, and these form stellar systems.

Yes, it is. Our own solar system is located within an outer arm (called the Orion-Cygnus Arm) of the Milky Way Galaxy.

No. Galaxies are well beyond our solar system. Our solar system is just one tiny part of the Milky Way Galaxy.

What Planet is outside our solar system?

None. By definition , our "solar system" is everything controlled by the gravity of our sun. The planets, their satellites, asteroids, dwarf planets, comets, interplanetary dust, and man-made satellites are "within" our solar system. Any "planet" outside out solar system is just that - OUTSIDE of it.

Are planets outside the solar system?

A solar system comprises a star (or combination of gravity bound stars) and their orbiting planets. We think the majority of stars are solar systems an we have detected planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. However in the process of forming a solar system we believe that planets my be permanently ejected from orbiting their stars and flung off into interstellar space. These planets would therefore indeed be outside any solar system.
