There are definetly more than nine planetes in the solar system.There are many discovered by scientists and many more are yet to be found. And it is suggested that there are many more solar systems in the milky way.

OK. Scientists have only discovered nine planets in our Solar System (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto). Now don't get confused between the Solar System and the Milky Way. The Solar System is a tiny system that is in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way consists of billions of stars, planets, and systems.
Excuse me. Sorry for blabbing so long. Let's get to the point.
If you meant if there are more than nine planets in the solar system, no, it hasn't been proved yet.
If you meant if there are more that nine planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, yes. Definitely.

If you mean in our solar system, yes scientists just discovered a new planet which they thought was there but couldn't see until now and named this planet (which they had called planet x) Sedna.
In the Milky Way galaxy there are around one hundred billion stars and scientists now believe each one of them is a sun with it's own planets. Scientist can detect the planets by carefully watching for how the motion of the planets causes slight movement in the star and they have been discovering new planets around other stars for years now.

a while ago science said they found a planet X bot that was the 9th planet but it was destroid by a comet and they found the remains or dabree.Pluto what we naw call our 9th planet is the moon of planet X and all pluto is a big ball of ice in the solarsystem. For the other answers there is only 1 star in the milkyway known as the sun.

Chances are there are billions more considering that each star out there is basically a sun similar to ours. If we have 9 planets, near our sun, even if each third star out there had planet formation and had only 1 planet, there would be billions of other planets in the milky way galaxy.

Yes! Scientists have discovered many planets around several stars in the Milky Way. There are even a few more planets in our own solar system!

Depending on your definition of "planet," there may be several more planets in the area know as the "Kuiper belt." That's our solar system.
Astronomers have discovered "planets" around other suns, but so far none the size and composition of the Earth. There are not a lot of those, either.

their are nine planets in our solar system.
their are approximately 100 trillion solar systems in the milky way. So if every solar system had 9 planets, that would make 900,000,000,000,000 planets in the milky way

No Almonds either ! Ooh You were asking about the Stars and planets....I'm on the same page as you now..Yes, There is a site on the web.( I will try to find it again) That say's they have found a Star (SUN) very close to us (in space distance) that has plantes around it and 1 of them is a little larger than earth and about the same distance form it's sun as earth.....
