We have no idea how many there may be in total, but as of mid-2010,

evidence of over 400 had been detected.

Today, in the enlightened present of 2013, rough estimates, of the number of planets in this universe, vary between 1,700,000,000,000,000,000,000 and 72,000,000,000,000,987,654,321.

Only 1001 of these planets have actually been confirmed, all the others have inhabitants who pray to false idols and so are being eternally punished in torch orbits around their Suns.

An extrasolar planet is a planet that has been discovered outside of our own Solar System. i.e a planet orbiting around a star, other than our own Sun. See link for more information
