How Many planets are there that are known?

Nobody knows. There is no estimation of how many stars there are and how many stars have planets. In our Solar System, since Pluto got downgraded to a 'dwarf planet' there are eight. Pluto was always weird -- an eccentric orbit at a weird tilt, way off from the others. So it mostly makes sense to say eight. A lot of people got upset, but we haven't heard a word from Pluto. In recent years, many planets were discovered orbiting other stars, they are known as exoplanets. There are about 350 known exoplanets, and the number is growing all the time.


How are exoplanets currently being detected?

The Hubble and Keppler space telescopes are detecting exoplanets
