Answer Forming PlanetThere is no one answer for this broad of a question. If the question is asking about planets in our solar system, the answer is both none and all of them. The planets are constantly evolving and before our Sun becomes a red giant and consumes the first half of the solar system, it is quite possible that more planets may have developed out of the Asteroid Belt, the Kuiper Belt, or the Oort Cloud. If asking about outside our solar system, the answer could be put like this: there are billions of galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars, each of which could have at least one planet orbiting it, but could also have several. Accepting that one of every 1,000,000 stars has at least one planet and one in 1,000,000 of those have three or more, then the number will still be an exponential number so massive that it would perfectly reflect the ridiculousness of fathoming numbers in astronomy.

Are stars still forming?

Yes, there are stars still forming in the universe. They form in nebulas.


Are new planets forming?

New planets are not forming in our solar system. When you get beyond Neptune, there is large grouping of stellar debris called the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt has enough material to become another planet, but it orbits around the sun too slowly for the material to combine. The planets formed by having asteroid-like rocks collide with one another, and the objects in the Kuiper Belt are spread out too far and don't have enough moment to form anything. There may be new planets forming around different stars. So far there have been around 800 stars found to have planets orbiting them, but there is no indication when those planets were formed. There may be new planets forming around different stars.


Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?

Planets orbit stars.


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.


Do planets and moons have stars?

On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.


What is the relationship of planets and stars with solar system galaxies and the universe?

Most planets orbit stars forming stellar systems. Stars are not part of the solar system which is simply the stellar system for our star - otherwise known as the sun. Stellar systems together form galaxies and these form a part of the universe.


Would you expect stars in the halo of the galaxy to have planets?

It is less likely for stars in the halo of a galaxy to have planets compared to stars in the disk of the galaxy. This is because the halo contains older stars with fewer heavy elements necessary for planet formation. However, some planets could still exist around halo stars, but they would be rare.


Which pulling force do planets and stars have?

Planets and stars have gravity.

Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?

Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".


What is in a galaxy?

In a galaxy, there are stars, the stars' planets, and the planets' moons. There are comets, asteroids, gas, dust, emptiness. You'll find nebula (star-forming regions) and black holes. In most galaxies, there is one supermassive black hole in the center that holds the entire galaxy together.
