They are 8 major planets and 5 known dwarf planets. All are approximately spherical, and a better approximation is to consider them as oblate spheroids.

How could you combine the following two questions into one question Ex- Who KnowsDoes the universe have nine planets Is it - Who Knows if the universe has nine planets or?

Those are both poorly worded versions of the same question. The question should read:"Does the universe have nine planets?"And the answer is:"No. The Universe has trillions and trillions of planets, but our solar system has eight planets."


How does gravity affect the other planets in the solar system?

"Gravity" is responsible for the existence of planetary orbits, and for their shapes and periods. It's also the reason for the spherical shapes of the planets, and for the existence of atmospheres, in the case of those planets that have any.
