Are there some planets that are not in the solar system?
Name the planets that do not exist in the solar system
What was surprising about the extrasolar planets that were discovered?
The surprising thing to me is how MANY extra-solar planets have been discovered. Considering the limitations of the Kepler Space Telescope's design, this indicates that there may be planets around a majority of the stars.
How many planets are that there are named?
In our solar system there are 8 true planets and hundreds of dwarf planets, in other solar systems around 404 planets have been named.
What planet of the solar system is exception?
Pluto has been made an exception and excluded from the solar planets..
How many rocky extra solar planets are discovered?
So far only one extrasolar planet has officially been confirmed as rocky, but many dozens are assumed to be rocky. This is because a planet must have both its size AND its mass measured to confirm it as rocky or gaseous, but almost all extrasolar planets have only had their masses measured due to the technical difficulties of measuring a distant planet's size. Most planets significantly less massive than Neptune are assumed to be rocky.

Is our solar system also our galaxy or is there more than one solar system in the milky way?
No, our Solar System is not the galaxy. Our Solar System is the Sun, and the planets around it (plus a few other objects, such as asteroids and comets). Our Sun (the center of our Solar System) is a star; in the galaxy there are several hundred billion stars, each of which might be called a solar system. At least if it is confirmed that it has planets - but it has already been confirmed that many stars in our neighborhood have planets.
What do astronomers think about the possibility of planets orbiting other stars and being detected?
Hundreds of extra-Solar planets have been detected already.
What planets are there not just in your solar system?
Planets found outside our own solar system are called exo-solar planets or exoplanets. These are in orbit around other stars. It's ver difficult to detect them due to the distances involved, but with modern techniques, over 500 have been confirmed.
What planets have life in your solar system?
So far, life has been confirmed ONLY on the 3rd planet- place called Earth.
Is there other solar systems around the stars?
Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.

How many planets can a solar system have according to the nebular theory?
There is no maximum number, and "nebular theory" has been knocked for a loop by the recent discoveries of 400+ "extra-solar planets" - planets orbiting other stars. Classical theories predicted that planetary systems would be rare; however, it seems that every nearby star we've looked at recently has been discovered to have planets - LOTS of planets.
How many planets are that there are named?
In our solar system there are 8 true planets and hundreds of dwarf planets, in other solar systems around 404 planets have been named.
Are UFOs a part of the solar system?
The existence of the so-called UFOs has not been conclusively confirmed. Therefore, we may be receiving visitors from other planets or moons of our own solar system, from other stars, or we may be receiving no visitors at all.
What are the moons of the plants of the solar system examples of?
They are examples of moons. Pressumably, many planets around other stars will also have moons, although as far as I know, this hasn't been confirmed yet.
When were the planets in the solar sytem created?
The solar system's planets (and the Sun) are thought to have been created about four and a half billion years ago.
