Have you found any other planets bigger than Jupiter?
No, but some telescopes have detected larger planets orbiting other suns. There are larger planets than Jupiter for they are called Super Jupiters
Which of the planets did the team of astronomers study for their report?
Teams of astronomers have studies all possible planets.
Is our sun the only star that has planets orbiting around it?
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
Before the telescope was invented what were ancient astronomers able to learn about the planets?

Dwarf planets in the milky way?
No one knows. Astronomers are scanning the visible stars of our own Milky Way galaxy for planets orbiting faraway stars, but such planets would have to be nearly the size of Jupiter to be detected at such distances
What other star has planets orbiting around them?
We believe that most stars have planets. The first star PROVABLY detected to have a planet was Gamma Cephei.

Suppose astronomers discover a new planet orbiting your sunthe orbit has a semimajor axis of 2.52 AU what is the planets period of revolution?
4 years
Are planets outside the solar system?
A solar system comprises a star (or combination of gravity bound stars) and their orbiting planets. We think the majority of stars are solar systems an we have detected planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. However in the process of forming a solar system we believe that planets my be permanently ejected from orbiting their stars and flung off into interstellar space. These planets would therefore indeed be outside any solar system.
Where are the planets found?
Orbiting stars. We know of eight planets orbiting our Sun, and we know of over 300 planets orbiting other stars.
Are there ant planets orbiting gemni?
There may be planets orbiting stars in the constellation Gemini, but planets do not orbit whole constellations.
What is a series of planets orbiting a star?
A series of planets orbiting a star is called a Solar System
Which of the planets did the team of astronomers study for their report?
Teams of astronomers have studies all possible planets.
What must astronomers do to view planets directly?
Astronomers use a telescope to view planets directly.
Planets without solar systems are called?
Planets not orbiting a star but instead orbiting the galactic center are referred to as rogue planets, or nomadic or interstellar planets.
Is our sun the only star that has planets orbiting around it?
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
