There are eight planets that circulate our sun.
A group of planets moving around a star is called a solar system. Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Despite the difficulty of detection, many hundreds have been discovered recently, orbiting other stars.
In our solar system, eight known planets revolve or orbit around the Sun (as do a lot of other objects, dwarf or minor planets, asteroids, comets, and so forth).
There are 5 rocky planets in our solar system if you count Pluto. If not, there are 4 rocky planets in the solar system.
There are eight planets in the solar system that orbit around the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
there are nine planets in the solar system if we add Pluto.
169 moons.

In *my* solar system, galaxies play no role, as my solar system is just one of many solar systems that make up our galaxy. A single star, which we call the Sun, is the most massive object in our solar system and, to a pretty good approximation, all of the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun. What are the roles of the galaxies, stars, and planets in *your* solar system?
The Sun has such a gigantic mass that it dominates the nearby volume of space.Not all bodies do orbit the Sun; there are comets that get pulled in by the Sun's gravity but then leave the solar system (comest on hyperbolic paths).Many smaller bodies also orbit their parent planets (we then call them moons).What else could the planets orbit around? Part of the definition of a planet is that it orbits the Sun! So planets by definition orbit the Sun! If they did not orbit the Sun they would not be called planets!
