What else can I help you with?
Are there any planets out of our solar system that orbit around stars?
Yes. As of August 2015 scientists have discovered nearly 2,000 planets orbiting other stars.
Do other stars have revolving planets?
Yes, other stars have revolving planets just like our Sun does. Many exoplanets have been discovered around other stars through techniques like the transit method, radial velocity method, and direct imaging. These exoplanets can have a wide variety of sizes, compositions, and orbital characteristics.
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 do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
Are all-stars planets?
The best possible answer is we don't know.Just a decade or so ago, astrophysicists believed that no other stars have planets. The first exoplanet discovered was Gamma Cephei b, in 1988. While its existence was questioned for more than a decade, it was finally proven in 2003.There are currently 840 Planets around 655 Stars, 128 of these are in systems with multiple planets; there are 2,712 Kepler candidates, and 2,756,217 Transit Survey Light Curves that could prove to be exoplanets as well.
Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?
Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.
Are there any planets out of our solar system that orbit around stars?
Yes. As of August 2015 scientists have discovered nearly 2,000 planets orbiting other stars.
How many planets have we discovered with the telescope?
Two in our own solar system, and nearly 1,000 in orbit around other stars.
Are there 20 planets in the universe?
As of now (late 2013), over 700 planets have been found to exist in orbit around other stars, and more are constantly being discovered.
Are there any other planets other than the eight major planets of our solar system?
Over 900 planets have been discovered orbiting other stars. These are called exoplanets.
Do other stars have revolving planets?
Yes, other stars have revolving planets just like our Sun does. Many exoplanets have been discovered around other stars through techniques like the transit method, radial velocity method, and direct imaging. These exoplanets can have a wide variety of sizes, compositions, and orbital characteristics.

What planets are out there that's are not in your solar system?
These are planets that are in orbit around other stars, known as exosolar planets.
What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
Are the stars in the sky different planets and moons we have not discovered yet?
No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
What are star planets called?
That doesn't make sense. There are stars, and there are planets. If you mean "planets around stars, other than the Sun", those are usually called "extrasolar planets" or "exoplanets".
