First off, technically our solar system now only has 8 planets (the IAU demoted Pluto :) but we have already found other planets (LARGE planets) in other galaxies so there are already other solar systems, but the chances that they are exactly like ours is infentesimal...

We have found over 200 other planets already, in about 160 solar systems. No way to know exactly how many planets in them (we can only detect the largest ones with masses similar to Uranus or larger).
But its clear that any combination of planets and any number is possible.

So far more than 210 planets have been detected orbiting other stars. One has been directly observed. The discoveries have been coming at the rate of one or two a month recently. At least one of the systems has more than one planet.

yes surely, there are many solar systems in the universe. it also consists of planets.may be in that solar system also earth and people may exist. but it is not possible to go to another solar system as it is millions of kms away from us. even though we want to go rockets cannot travel large distance.

yeah, it's possible.=)
we should remember that we are only in one system and that is the solar system. in our galaxy, which happened to be the milky way.. there are also lots of systems.
galaxy could be defined as composed of lots of systems.=)

I genuinely have consistently discovered it exciting that folk envision extraterrestrial beings as human like in visual attraction and behaviour;"Billions upon Billions" remains faraway from being countless. at the same time as i imagine that realistically we can locate that the "existence" in the Universe will consist specially of micro organism-like creatures that assemble in some warmth water someplace, the risk of human-like beings residing in the universe remains extremely intense. nonetheless if you're speaking about humanoid extraterrestrial beings which have fingers, feet, hair, and a first rate experience for trend; I doubt it...

There are many other star systems just like ours

There must be.
It's inconceivable to think that planets only formed around this one ordinary star.

yes, there can be.
but we cant know exectly about it because we cant go out of the earth's orbital plane.
