What else can I help you with?
Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?
Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.
Does the other planets go around the sun?
Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!
how many planets have been discovered around stars other than sun?
42.068
Is Earth large?
no, not compared to other planets around us. Think about it.
What other planets have there own planets?
As of now, the only planet known to have its own moon is Earth. Other planets in our solar system have moons but no planets of their own. In our solar system, moons primarily orbit around planets rather than planets orbiting around other planets.
Who discovered that other planets had moons?
Galileo
Are there any planets out of our solar system that orbit around stars?
Yes. As of August 2015 scientists have discovered nearly 2,000 planets orbiting other stars.
What two other common names of the bodies?
The two other common names for celestial bodies are planets and moons. Planets are large objects that orbit around stars, while moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets.
How many planets have we discovered with the telescope?
Two in our own solar system, and nearly 1,000 in orbit around other stars.
Are there 20 planets in the universe?
As of now (late 2013), over 700 planets have been found to exist in orbit around other stars, and more are constantly being discovered.
Are there any other planets other than the eight major planets of our solar system?
Over 900 planets have been discovered orbiting other stars. These are called exoplanets.
Are the new planets Kepler-62f and Kepler-62e or Ceres and Eris?
Ceres and Eris are not planets; they are classified as dwarf planets. Eris was discovered in our solar system recently and not by the Kepler mission. Ceres is not "new" either; it was discovered the first day of the 19th. Century. I didn't check the specific "Kepler-" codes, but that looks like planets discovered by the Kepler mission to be orbiting around other stars.
