In our solar system, the dwarf planets Pluto and Charon orbit each other around a common center of gravity located in the empty space between them. As the only binary planets in our solar system, that makes Pluto and Charon share the title as having the most planets orbiting another planet.
Planet like objects that orbit planets, without them orbiting each other, are called moons.
The title for the planet with most moons, is passed back and forth between Jupiter and Saturn, as new (to us) and ever smaller moons are discovered. Currently, Jupiter holds the title with 63 moons.

Earth is the home to man
What is Toutatis?
Toutatis is a binary asteroid in our solar system, named after the Celtic god. It is made up of two separate rocky bodies orbiting each other. Toutatis has been closely studied by astronomers, and its complex orbit has been mapped in detail.
Is Human being most advanced and powerful species on earth?
Humans are considered the most advanced species on Earth due to their higher level of intelligence, ability to innovate, and capacity for complex reasoning. However, this does not necessarily equate to being the most powerful species, as nature is a delicate balance where all species play important roles in their respective ecosystems.
How is it possible human beings are living on earth?
Human beings are able to live on Earth due to its hospitable conditions, including the presence of oxygen in the atmosphere, suitable temperatures, liquid water, and a protective magnetic field. These conditions have allowed for the evolution and sustenance of life on our planet.
Which planet has the most suns orbiting around it?
Planets do not have suns orbiting around them. Suns have planets orbiting around them. The planet in our solar system with the highest number of discovered moons orbiting around it is Jupiter, with over 100.
Does Planet Earth have small planets around it?
No. There are no planets orbiting Earth.The Moon is not a planet.
What planet has tiny planets?
A planet doesn't "have planets". Anything orbiting a planet is called a moon, or a satellite.
Why is ganymede not a planet?

What other star has planets orbiting around them?

What other planets have there own planets?
Planets do not have planets of their own. If a large rock is orbiting a planet, it is called a moon.
How many planet's orbit?
8 planets is orbiting the sun
Do outer planets have dwarf planets?
No. Planets do not have dwarf planets. A planet-sized object orbiting a larger planet is a moon. Dwarf planets orbit the sun independent of other objects.
The outer most planet is?
Most say Neptune. Pluto isn't a planet, but counting dwarf planets, Eres. A little dwarf planet far beyond the reach of the sun, but still orbiting the sun.
What methods has led to the most discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars?
Detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum.
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.
Which planets move around the sun?
They all do, its one of the things that is required for a planet to be a planet, directly orbiting the sun.
