What planet orbits a star other then the sun?

There are many planets that orbit stars other than the Sun. These are known as exoplanets and have been discovered in many different star systems throughout the galaxy. Some stars have multiple planets orbiting them, similar to our own solar system.


How many new exoplanets were found by European Astronomers?

European astronomers have discovered thousands of new exoplanets. The European Space Agency's Cheops mission, for example, has discovered over 50 confirmed exoplanets so far. Other European efforts, like the European Southern Observatory's HARPS instrument, have also contributed significantly to the discovery of exoplanets.


How many exoplanets do we know of?

Now we know of 861 exoplanets, with several thousand awaiting confirmation


How Many planets are there that are known?

Nobody knows. There is no estimation of how many stars there are and how many stars have planets. In our Solar System, since Pluto got downgraded to a 'dwarf planet' there are eight. Pluto was always weird -- an eccentric orbit at a weird tilt, way off from the others. So it mostly makes sense to say eight. A lot of people got upset, but we haven't heard a word from Pluto. In recent years, many planets were discovered orbiting other stars, they are known as exoplanets. There are about 350 known exoplanets, and the number is growing all the time.


What exoplanets are in our solar system?

There are no exoplanets in our solar system. By definition, an exoplanet is a planet that is not in our solar system.

Does Procyon have exoplanets?

As of now, there have been no confirmed reports of exoplanets orbiting Procyon. However, it is possible that there may be undetected exoplanets around this star waiting to be discovered through further observations.


Which planet do most known extrasolarplanets most resemble?

Most known extrasolar planets, particularly those discovered so far, resemble Jupiter in terms of their size and gas giant characteristics. Many of these exoplanets are classified as "Hot Jupiters," which are large, gaseous planets that orbit very close to their host stars, resulting in high temperatures. However, the diversity of exoplanets is vast, with many differing significantly from our solar system's planets, including smaller rocky planets similar to Earth.


What do you call the planets and stars?

What are the 3 exoplanets?

"The 3" is just plain wrong; much more than 3 exoplanets have been found so far.
