The exact number of planets that exist is not currently known, as new planets continue to be discovered and our estimates of the number of planets in our galaxy continue to evolve. However, as of October 2021, over 4,852 exoplanets have been confirmed in 3,586 star systems, with more being discovered regularly. Additionally, there are eight planets in our own solar system. Some estimates suggest that there may be billions of planets in our galaxy alone, with many possibly capable of supporting life. The exact number continues to be the subject of ongoing research and discovery.
