All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun. Scientists have discovered nearly 2000 planets orbiting stars other than the sun, many of which have alphanumerical designations rather than name. Regardless, there are too many to list here. A few of the more notable ones are:

  • 51 Pegasi b (Bellerphon)
  • PSR B1620-26 b (Methusela)
  • Kepler-452b
  • Kepler-442b
  • Gliese 667 Cc
  • TrES-3b

What is the path of a planet round the sun?

Planets orbit the Sun in an elliptical path. This path is determined by the gravitational pull of the Sun on the planet, causing it to move in an elliptical orbit. The orbit is maintained due to a balance between the planet's inertia and the gravitational force of the Sun.
