With admiration and kudos to "Labouts" for his superb previous answer to the
same question, we reproduce it below. If you haven't the patience to read it,
the loss is all yours. In summary, the answer to your question is "Lots".
========================================================
Astronomers estimate there are 1021 stars in the universe. With a conservative estimate of three planets per star (some could have many more, some would have none at all) this puts the estimated number of planets into millions of billions.
The actual number of planets in the universe is difficult to ascertain. However, we do know that the number is very, very large, and the true figure is completely beyond human comprehension.
No offence to the person who wrote this, but this doesn't make any sence.
The number of known planets changes by the day. So far, we've confirmed the existence of the 8 main planets of the solar system, a handful of dwarf planets (including Ceres, Pluto, Sedna, Eris, and a few others), and 429 extra-solar planets in the nearby portion of our own galaxy. Estimates on the number of planets in the universe are based on the observed distribution of these relatively few known planets.
It's unknown just how many planets exist in the Universe. The number is likely huge - trillions upon trillions!
On average half the stars might have planets, assuming around 10 planets per star (so an average of 5 planets for each star) around 500 billion, billion planets.
According to current research, it seems likely that each star (or at least most stars) has at least one planet.
Outside the solar system some have been discovered orbiting other stars. It is suspected that most stars possess planets because of a thing called angular momentum.
In the solar system most of the angular momentum is contained in the planets, which means that if the planets were collapsed into the Sun it would rotate on its axis about 50 times faster, which might cause it to fly apart. It's the same effect as when a ballerina is rotating, and when she pulls her arms in she rotates faster because of the angular momentum of her arms and hands.
The Sun is a very average star in many ways and the total angular momentum of the solar system is probably typical, so when we see other stars sitting there without flying apart, it's a good bet that they possess their own solar systems. But we can detect only the very biggest of the planets going round other stars.
There has thought to be millions and billions of planets out there but, however, no one is exactly sure yet. The farthest they have seen was all of our planets in our solar system, the Milky Way!
Currently we have 8 planets in our solar system. The rest are called dwarf planets.
I guess you mean "in the Solar System" not in the Earth. The answer to that
is 8.
well the world is a planet on its own, so one. the UNIVERSE has uncountable planets as scientists believe it is still expanding, and we'll never be even 50% sure how many planets there are.
There are no planets in the world. The nearby planets are in the solar system.

There were originally 9 planets in our solar system, but now there are only 8 because Pluto is not considered a planet. In the whole of theMilky Way Galaxythere are probably billions of planets.
Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn is the deadliest gas planets in the whole solar system that not everyone has knew in U.S.A

All the planets like the whole Solar system. But the sun is going to be really big!

It is impossible to accurately determine the total number of individuals named Laura in the world as there is no centralized database that collects this specific information. The popularity of the name may vary across cultures and regions.

Heavenly bodies, by their very definition, are not "in the world" - they are in the heavens - that is, they are out of this world. Heavenly bodies include the Sun, the moon, the planets of the solar system and other stars and their planets. They are - literally - too many to count.
There may be planets orbiting stars in the constellation Gemini, but planets do not orbit whole constellations.
