The ancient Greeks used Ptolemy's theory, based on circles, that was good enough for the accuracy needed at the time. Later Kepler in the 16th century discovered that an ellipse is a better model of a planetary orbit. In modern times it has been discovered that an ellipse is an approximation and that true orbits have no simple description. But the ellipse is a good enough model for many purposes.
It is too premature to give percentages. Several hundred planets have already been found around other solar systems; but so far, mostly giant planets have been found, most of them larger than Jupiter.It is too premature to give percentages.

Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.
Most planets are found in the Milky Way galaxy, which is part of the Local Group of galaxies. Within the Milky Way, planets are most commonly found in the habitable zone around stars, where conditions may be suitable for liquid water and potentially life to exist.
Yes, recent research has found that a large percentage of stars have planetary systems. It is now believed that planets are a common feature in our galaxy, with some stars possibly hosting multiple planets. The discovery of thousands of exoplanets in the last few decades has increased our understanding of the prevalence of planets in the universe.
There is 8 planets in our solar system now, becuase scientists no longer classify Pluto as a planet. There where about 400 planets found so making it about 399 so about 391 exo-planets have been found. Hope that answers your question!
coins wheels planets and so on ...

No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
Hundreds of crop circles have been reported around the world. Many of these have later been found to be hoaxes but there still remain a percentage that have defied explaination.
the found different rock on the planets
To date (2009) no planets have been found around Ad leonis (GJ 388)

I have found some good tips in following link; it may be helpful for you.
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.
there are more planets than stars because to every star there could have several planets
There were 54 crop circles.
The tundra is typically found within the Arctic and Antarctic circles, which are located at around 66.5 degrees North and South latitudes, respectively.
