is it possible for a triple star system to have planets orbiting?

It is possible but unlikely because the competing gravitational forces from two or more stars are very likely to make it impossible for any planet to settle into a stable orbit.

Are there any planets located near the star algol?
At the moment no planets have been detected, which is not surprising as it's a binary star system (possibly triple star).
What is the maximum number of triple bonds that a carbon atom can form?
Only one triple bond is possible.
Which star is actually composed of 3 stars forming a triple star system?
Polaris (the North star - Alpha Ursae Minoris) is a triple star system, but appears to us as a single star. Alpha Centauri is also another triple star system. And there are many more.
Is proxima centauri a binary star system or a triple star system?
Let's get our nomenclature right here. Alpha Centauri is a triple star system: Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B are a fairly close double of stars roughly like the Sun, and Alpha Centauri C is a much dimmer red dwarf orbiting the pair at a considerably greater distance. It just so happens that C's orbit brings it at times closer to the Sun than any other star that we currently know about. So Alpha Centauri C is sometimes itself called Proxima.
What planet has 3 suns?
No planet we know of belongs to a triple star system. It is also, due to gravitational interactions, unlikely - but not impossible - that a planet could be formed within a triple star system.

The sun does NOT belong what kind of star system?
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this but usually star systems are classed as single (Just one star), binary (meaning two stars orbiting each other), triple (three stars orbiting each other), etc... As our Sun is the only star in this system it is a single star system and therefore none of the others.
Will it be possible for a planet orbitng rigel to have life?
It is possible but the planetary orbit would be very strange because Rigel is really a triple star system.
Can a binary star system have planets?
Yes, they can have planets but they will not be as common as a single star system. If any planets are formed, they will generally be far away from the stars. This is because of the gravitational influences of two stars. This instability prohibits the formation of planets. Obviously, it depends on the mass of the two stars and their distance from each other. A close pair will probably not have planets whereas a major star and a far minor binary pair will not experience the same influences and planet formation could occur without the same constraint's. Our nearest binary/triple star system - Alpha Centauri has yet to have any planets detected.
What system is the sun center of the solar system?
The sun's mass is so much bigger than anything in our solar system that it actually pulls all of the other masses in the Milky Way to it, the planets with the bigger masses are out farther, and the smaller ones are closer, except for pluto. (because pluto's orbit is messed up due to previous momentum)
Is it possible to triple jump?
Yes, it is.
Is it possible to have a triple rainbow across the sky?
no
Is it possible to do a triple jump?
Yes unless your disabled......
What is after Neptune in solar system?
A great question. Neptune is the the last of our major planets. Then comes a cacophany of minor planets such as Pluto, Qawar etc that expand our solar system to triple its' current known size. After that, their is the outer limits. The mystical rocky belts of indiscipherable objects where comets are born and revolve around our sun once in a billion years or so. This is where we need to learn. This is where you, we, can discover new secrets.
Were the triple entente in the alliance system?
Yes they were. (:
Is rigel a triple star binary star or single star?
Rigel is a triple star system.
What is the maximum number of triple bonds that a carbon atom can form?
Only one triple bond is possible.
