What else can I help you with?
Are there some planets that are not in the solar system?
Yes, there are planets outside our solar system known as exoplanets. These planets orbit stars other than the Sun. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered so far using various techniques like the transit method and radial velocity method.
What was surprising about the extrasolar planets that were discovered?
The surprising thing to me is how MANY extra-solar planets have been discovered. Considering the limitations of the Kepler Space Telescope's design, this indicates that there may be planets around a majority of the stars.
What are the planets out of your solar system?
Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered orbiting other stars in the Milky Way galaxy. They come in a variety of sizes and compositions, and many are quite different from the planets in our own solar system.
Which planet has been lost from the solar system?
There is no known planet that has been lost from our solar system. All the planets in our solar system, from Mercury to Neptune, are still present in their respective orbits. Some dwarf planets beyond Neptune's orbit have been discovered in recent years, but no large planet has been lost.
What are the names of the 2 new planets?
They are categorized as "dwarf planets" now, leaving only 8 regular planets in our solar system. The names of all the dwarf planets are:CeresPlutoHaumeaMakemakeEris
Is our solar system also our galaxy or is there more than one solar system in the milky way?
No, our Solar System is not the galaxy. Our Solar System is the Sun, and the planets around it (plus a few other objects, such as asteroids and comets). Our Sun (the center of our Solar System) is a star; in the galaxy there are several hundred billion stars, each of which might be called a solar system. At least if it is confirmed that it has planets - but it has already been confirmed that many stars in our neighborhood have planets.
What planets have life in your solar system?
So far, life has been confirmed ONLY on the 3rd planet- place called Earth.
Are there some planets that are not in the solar system?
Yes, there are planets outside our solar system known as exoplanets. These planets orbit stars other than the Sun. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered so far using various techniques like the transit method and radial velocity method.
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.
Is there other solar systems around the stars?
Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.

How many planets can a solar system have according to the nebular theory?
There is no maximum number, and "nebular theory" has been knocked for a loop by the recent discoveries of 400+ "extra-solar planets" - planets orbiting other stars. Classical theories predicted that planetary systems would be rare; however, it seems that every nearby star we've looked at recently has been discovered to have planets - LOTS of planets.
Are UFOs a part of the solar system?
The existence of the so-called UFOs has not been conclusively confirmed. Therefore, we may be receiving visitors from other planets or moons of our own solar system, from other stars, or we may be receiving no visitors at all.
What are the moons of the plants of the solar system examples of?
They are examples of moons. Pressumably, many planets around other stars will also have moons, although as far as I know, this hasn't been confirmed yet.
When were the planets in the solar sytem created?
The solar system's planets (and the Sun) are thought to have been created about four and a half billion years ago.
How many planets have been discover in the solar system?
14
Is there more planets in the solar system?
This is an ongoing study, but it has been said that there has been sightings of another planet in the solar system.
