There are eight planets that circulate our sun.
There are eight planets in our solar system. However, in the entire cosmos, there are billions of planets that orbit stars in other solar systems.
A group of planets moving around a star is called a solar system. Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Despite the difficulty of detection, many hundreds have been discovered recently, orbiting other stars.
There are 5 rocky planets in our solar system if you count Pluto. If not, there are 4 rocky planets in the solar system.
there are nine planets in the solar system if we add Pluto.
There are eight planets in the solar system that orbit around the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
169 moons.

There are 9 Planets near are Solar System.
The Sun has such a gigantic mass that it dominates the nearby volume of space.Not all bodies do orbit the Sun; there are comets that get pulled in by the Sun's gravity but then leave the solar system (comest on hyperbolic paths).Many smaller bodies also orbit their parent planets (we then call them moons).What else could the planets orbit around? Part of the definition of a planet is that it orbits the Sun! So planets by definition orbit the Sun! If they did not orbit the Sun they would not be called planets!

Personally I'd call anything that is large enough to rotate around the Sun is a planet. However, that causes "loads" of problems, orbits and mass etc. If that criteria was used we'd have hundreds/thousands of planets and sooo many problems. The current criteria makes sense and should be used. It matters not if an "object" in space is a planet, dwarf, asteroid or comet - it's nothing more than a "lump" of something orbiting the Sun.
Two in our own solar system, and nearly 1,000 in orbit around other stars.
