Planets generally orbit around stars. (Some interesting speculations suggest that there may be "free planets" that are not near any star.) Billions of these solar systems orbiting their common center of gravity form a galaxy.

Are there any stars between Galaxies?
Yes, there are stars between galaxies. When there are collisions or interactions between galaxies, stars can be ripped out of the galaxies. These stars will then wander into space between galaxies. Such stars have been observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Taken from http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=384
Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.
Which heavently bodies form the universe?
Stars, Planets, nebulae, galaxies.
Which structures make up the universe?
planets, stars, moons, galaxies
Where do Stars Galaxies Nebulae and Planets fit in the grand scheme?
Galaxies/nebulae are at the top of the tree; each one contains several billion stars. Each star might have many planets orbiting around it, and planets can have many moons.
Are stars planets from different galaxies?
Through intense research it has indicated that stars are not only luminous balls of plasma held by gravity, but are also planets from different galaxies. From a distance, they may seem like stars, but are in fact planets. So yes, you are correct, planets are stars from different galaxies.
Are stars made of galaxies?
No, the stars actually make the planets.
What is the relationship of planets and stars with solar system galaxies and the universe?
Most planets orbit stars forming stellar systems. Stars are not part of the solar system which is simply the stellar system for our star - otherwise known as the sun. Stellar systems together form galaxies and these form a part of the universe.
Galaxies are made up of billions of?
stars and planets
Are galaxies related to planets?
Galaxies are generally a collection of stars. But within any galaxy, there are lots of other objects, including planets. So galaxies are related to planets in some ways.
Are comets asteroids stars or galaxies sometimes called minor planets?
Asteroids, some comets, and dwarf planets are classified as minor planets. Stars and galaxies are much larger than planets There are dwarf planets and these are Ceres Pluto and Eris.
Are there any stars between Galaxies?
Yes, there are stars between galaxies. When there are collisions or interactions between galaxies, stars can be ripped out of the galaxies. These stars will then wander into space between galaxies.

What could be the possible exists between galaxies?
Dust, gas, dark matter, perhaps individual stars and planets.
What can you see from outer space?
stars, planets, galaxies, darkness
Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.
What are astronomers?
A scientist who studies celestial bodies such as planets, stars , and galaxies.
In what parts of the universe do stars and planets exist?
Mainly inside of galaxies.
