All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun. Scientists have discovered nearly 2000 planets orbiting stars other than the sun, many of which have alphanumerical designations rather than name. Regardless, there are too many to list here. A few of the more notable ones are:

  • 51 Pegasi b (Bellerphon)
  • PSR B1620-26 b (Methusela)
  • Kepler-452b
  • Kepler-442b
  • Gliese 667 Cc
  • TrES-3b

All planets rotate about their axis, most of them within the plane of their orbits.

One exception is Uranus, which is tilted on its side so that it spins as if "rolling" along its orbit. At two points in its orbit, one of its poles points almost directly toward the Sun. Each pole experiences 42 Earth years of daylight and 42 Earth years of night during the longer Uranus year.

There are 598 confirmed extrasolar planets (planets that orbit stars other than The Sun). As yet, none are 'named' like our classical planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, etc.), but are simply named with the star's name and a lowercase letter (starting with 'b' instead of 'a' to avoid confusing 'a' with the star itself) tallying its order of being discovered around that particular star (it may not correlate with the planet's relative orbit around the star, as a farther-out planet may be discovered before an inner planet).

All the planets revolve around the Sun in the Solar System. If something didn't revolve around the sun, it wouldn't be in the Solar System and would eventually have to orbit another star.

Of course, there are countless planets in the galaxy, though nobody knows if any of them support life. Our solar system is only the planets that orbit the star Sol.
