Technically, as the universe is infinite, that question is unanswerable. This is because it is impossible to calculate the amount of planets in the universe at any one time. If you mean our solar system then there are eight planets all together, Pluto is arguably a satellite If you mean our galaxy, then it is impossible to calculate the amount.

According to the University of Hawaii [See related question] there are 7.5x10^18 grains of sand on the Earth.
Estimates [See related question] place the number of stars at 10 x 10^21 possibly a lot more!!

∙ 13y agoIt's estimated that there are between 1020 and 1024 grains of sand on Earth.
It's estimated that there are about 1022 stars in the "observable" Universe.
It's a close call. I'll start counting the stars, if you start counting the grains of sand!

∙ 11y agoConsidering that there are an estimated 200-400 billion stars in our Milky Way Galaxy alone, and only an estimated 7 billion people currently alive on the planet.... In world history, there have been about 50 - 108 billion human beings; this means that not only are there more stars in the sky, there are actually more freaking galaxies than people who have ever lived (a galaxy has ten million to a hundred trillion stars).

∙ 11y agoThere are more stars in the universe than sand. Sand ends at one point and stars are being born by a nebula and there are infinite amounts of galaxies

∙ 8y agoYes. The sun is the only star in our solar system, but the galaxy contains at least 100 billion stars.

There are stars in any galaxy. That's, to a great extent, what a "galaxy" is all about: a huge collection of stars.

The sun is a star but the sun is a star but it is the only one in our galaxy, the milky way.
