Uh...1 planets in this world. There are 8 planets plus 4 plutons now in our solar system. (Until a week ago there were 9 planets)
"If the proposed Resolution is passed, the 12 planets in our Solar System will be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon and 2003 UB313. The name 2003 UB313 is provisional, as a "real" name has not yet been assigned to this object. A decision and announcement of a new name are likely not to be made during the IAU General Assembly in Prague, but at a later time. The naming procedures depend on the outcome of the Resolution vote. There will most likely be more planets announced by the IAU in the future. Currently a dozen "candidate planets" are listed on IAU's "watchlist" which keeps changing as new objects are found and the physics of the existing candidates becomes better known."

Wait a couple of months before throwing out your old science books while this debate settles.

The "world" meaning Earth? Then none. There are no planets IN the world.
According to scientists these days though, there are 12 planets in our solar system.

There are no planets in the world, but lots of countries that made up this planet.

If by 'world' you mean Earth, one.
If by 'world' you mean the Universe, no one knows, except that it probably has about 20 digits.
If by 'world' you mean our Solar System, then there are eight solidly recognized planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) and a number of objects which may or may not be defined as planets depending on what scientists decide on for the definition (Pluto, Charon, Ceres, Sedna, Xena, Varuna, Quaoar, etc).

There are currently 9, but astronomers are debating now in a conference if there should be more, like 12 or even more, and also what defines a planet.

We as human beings could be considered large bodies orbiting the sun. Therefore, there could be approximately 8 billion planets in the world.

None. Since the world is a planet there aren't any inside it, there can't be!

I think you meant universe, there is only 1 planet and it IS the world, AKA: Earth.
