No. There are MILLIONS of things in orbit around the Sun. The planets are just the biggest few, the ones that are big enough to see from Earth.
In addition to the eight (or nine) planets, there are thousands of asteroids in the asteroid belt and uncounted more beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt.
Add in all the little stuff that's too small to see until it goes streaking through the atmosphere and lights up. Millions? Bah. BILLIONS, more likely.
What else can I help you with?
Is space and the moon the same?
uh......no offense but are you an idiot? NO!!!!The moon is a mass that orbits our earth. Other planets have moons too, not just ours. And it depends what you mean by space. Does your mind comprehend space like a kindergardener?There is space between every thing, including atoms. They are not the same! The moon is a mass and space is basically the absence of it.
Is it true that Kepler's laws holds only for the six planets known in his time?
No. It holds for other planets, and for any other situation where one objects orbits another - for example, moons orbiting planets, stars orbiting a black hole, etc.
Which two planets overlap?
The orbits of all planets in our solar system do not overlap; each planet has its own distinct orbit around the Sun. However, there are times when planets appear close together in the sky from our viewpoint on Earth due to their positions in their respective orbits.
Does space have an atmosphere or is it only planets that have them?
Space does not have an atmosphere. It is generally considered a vacuum. Planets and some moons have atmospheres.
Is the earth the only planet that orbits the sun?
All the planets in the solar system orbit the sun.
Does the orbits of the planets intersect in space?
No, the orbits of planets in our solar system do not intersect in space. Each planet follows its own unique path around the Sun, and these paths are well separated and do not cross each other. Any apparent intersection of orbits is only in the two-dimensional view from Earth and not in three-dimensional space.

Does the sun have mons?
Do you mean MOONS? No, only planets have moons. The objects orbiting a star are called planets if they are large enough, and asteroids if they are small. Comets also orbit stars, but in larger orbits that take them out of the solar system and back.
Can dwarf planets have moons why?
Yes. Of the five recognized dwarf planets only one, Ceres lacks a moon. Dwarf planets are massive objects, far more massive that ordinary asteroids and comets, so they have strong enough gravity to retain moons in stable orbits.
Why do you think planets do not have same orbits?
It's because each planets is a collection of all the debris that was going round in a similar orbit before the planets were formed. So the planets only survived to the present day by having different orbits.
Why is Eris and Pluto not planets?
Because both of them not meet the terms to considered as a planet. The technical reason given is: They have not cleared the regions of their orbits of other objects. Unfortunately that's not a nice simple reason. Pluto was only redefined from planet to "dwarf planet" in the year 2006. The problem was that astronomers kept finding new objects in this part of space.
Does mercury orbit around any other planets?
No, it only orbits around the sun.
Does space have an atmosphere or is it only planets that have them?
Space does not have an atmosphere. It is generally considered a vacuum. Planets and some moons have atmospheres.
Why is there only one planet that orbits the sun?
There are 8 planets orbiting the Sun in our solar system.
Is the earth the only planet that orbits the sun?
All the planets in the solar system orbit the sun.
