In our solar system, there are eight known planets; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

There are five known "dwarf planets", and probably thousands more that have not yet been discovered. And there are hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of asteroids.

Beyond our solar system, the Kepler Space Telescope has found evidence of a thousand or more extra-solar planets. Given the limitations of the design and functioning of the Kepler telescope, this raises the probability that the majority of stars may possess planetary systems; if so, the likely number of planets within the Milky Way galaxy could be in the trillions.
