Strictly speaking 8 planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune.
The most found around a ExtraSolar star is 5 around the star 55 Cancri A.
The star is a yellow main sequence star of spectral type G8 V, with 0.95 solar masses and a diameter of 1.152 solar diameters.
It is actually in a binary system with 55 Cancri B which is a very small Red dwarf with 0.13 solar masses, 0.3 solar diameters and a separation of 1,000 AU.
The planets are :-
- 55 Cancri Ae - Mass=0.034Mj - Semi Major Axis=0.038AU - Orbital Period=2.81705days - Eccentricity=0.07
- 55 Cancri Ab - 0.824Mj - 0.115AU - 14.65162days - 0.014
- 55 Cancri Ac - 0.169Mj - 0.240AU - 43.93days - 0.086
- 55 Cancri Af - 0.144Mj - 0.781AU - 260days - 0.2
- 55 Cancri Ad - 3.835Mj - 5.77AU - 5218days - 0.025
Just a small note the planets are named according to when they were discovered and follow the internationally recognised format of the star name followed by the lower case b for the 1st found, lower case c for the 2nd and so on.

Where are ExtraSolar planets found?
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.
Is Jupiter the largest planet in space apart from the sun?
No. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system (the sun is a star, not a planet), but not the largest in existence. Planets larger than Jupiter have been found orbiting stars other than the sun.
The largest planets of your solar system are found between which 2 planets?
mars and uranus
Is Kepler a planet?
No. Kepler is a telescope created to find planets orbiting other stars. Planets found using it are given designations beginning with Kepler, such as Kepler 440b.
How many exoplanets have been found as of today?
If they're undiscovered, how are we supposed to know?The likelihood that there is an undiscovered planet ... as opposed to an undiscovered minor planet ... in the Solar System is approximately nil.Astronomers estimate that there are as many as 100 billion to 400 billion planets orbiting other stars in our galaxy.
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.
Where are ExtraSolar planets found?
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.
Is our sun the only star that has planets orbiting around it?
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
Is Jupiter the largest planet out there?
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but not the largest planet of all. Planets larger than Jupiter have been found orbiting other stars.
Is Jupiter the largest planet in space apart from the sun?
No. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system (the sun is a star, not a planet), but not the largest in existence. Planets larger than Jupiter have been found orbiting stars other than the sun.
What is a exoplants?
Exoplanets refers to planets to that have been found orbiting stars other than the sun.
The largest planets of your solar system are found between which 2 planets?

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
Is Kepler a planet?
No. Kepler is a telescope created to find planets orbiting other stars. Planets found using it are given designations beginning with Kepler, such as Kepler 440b.
Objects that orbit planets?
The objects found orbiting the planets are called satellites, or moons. They range from Mercury and Venus, which have no moons, to Jupiter and Saturn, which have over 50 moons.
What is the largest planet found next to mars?
jupiter is the bigger planets
Who found the world's largest prime number?
There is no such thing as a largest prime number - there can't be. The largest KNOWN prime number was found by the GIMPS project.
