Several planets have been found outside of our solar system, and we have just begun to search for them seriously. The ones we can observe are relatively close to us (relative to the size of the galaxy and universe), and we have not observed any that seem earth-like in size and/or characteristics. But our technology is improving all the time. There are other planets outside the solar system, but life on those planets is still questionable. You can see online the Hubble telescope to show you other galaxies and planets.
A:Yes, there are more than 300 known planets orbiting other stars. They are called extra-solar planets.No. The planets are within the Solar System.

___________________________
Yes. Scientists have identified over 300 "extra-solar" planets or "exo-planets" which are orbiting other stars. So far, most of these are the size of Jupiter or larger; small planets such as Earth aren't massive enough to cause gravitational perturbations in the motion of the star, and not big enough to occult the star visibly.
However, as telescopes improve, this is likely to be achieved.

Which planets are the giant gas planets?
There are four planets in our Solar System that are gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There are many others but are extrasolar, as in outside our Solar System.
What planets are there not just in your solar system?
Planets found outside our own solar system are called exo-solar planets or exoplanets. These are in orbit around other stars. It's ver difficult to detect them due to the distances involved, but with modern techniques, over 500 have been confirmed.
What are x o planets?
Exoplanets are planets that are located outside of our solar system. They orbit stars other than our Sun and are typically detected using telescopes and other astronomical instruments. The study of exoplanets is an active area of research in astronomy.
How money planets are there in your solar system?

Are there planets outside the solar system and could any support life?
Well, there are planets outside of the solar system, and there is one that is livable, but I don't know what it is called.
What Planet is outside our solar system?
None. By definition , our "solar system" is everything controlled by the gravity of our sun. The planets, their satellites, asteroids, dwarf planets, comets, interplanetary dust, and man-made satellites are "within" our solar system. Any "planet" outside out solar system is just that - OUTSIDE of it.
What are the five planets in our outer solar system?
The outer Solar System is the part outside the orbit of Mars. This region of the Solar System is home to four planets and numerous dwarf planets. The planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Are there planets outside your Solar system?
Yes, there are over 200 more planets outside the solar system, these planets are called extrasolar planets. There are also more then 170 solar systems inside of the Milky Way, on average astronomers find around 25 new planets a year.
Is there more than 11 planets?
yes but they are outside our solar system in our Solar system are only 8 the others are dwarf planets Edit: May 8th 2013 There are 11 in our close range solar system but millions outside our univerese or solar system. Remember space is infinite.
Are there anymore planets outside the solar system?
There are thousands and thousands of other planets outside of our solar system, along with many other galaxies, universes, and planetoids, and possibly other forms of life.
What planets in your solar system reside outside the Goldilocks zone?
The only planet on our solar system that resides withinthe Goldilocks zone is Earth.The planets that reside outside the Goldilocks zone are:MercuryVenusMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
Are planets outside the solar system?
A solar system comprises a star (or combination of gravity bound stars) and their orbiting planets. We think the majority of stars are solar systems an we have detected planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. However in the process of forming a solar system we believe that planets my be permanently ejected from orbiting their stars and flung off into interstellar space. These planets would therefore indeed be outside any solar system.
Are there any planets outside of our solar system?
Yes, we have discovered several.
