Editing Lists of planets (section)

{{Short description|none}}
These are '''lists of planets'''. A planet is a large, rounded astronomical body that is neither a star nor its remnant. The best available theory of planet formation is the nebular hypothesis, which posits that an interstellar cloud collapses out of a nebula to create a young protostar orbited by a protoplanetary disk. There are eight planets within the [[Solar System]]; planets outside of the solar system are also known as '''exoplanets'''.

{{Extrasolar planet counts|full|source=NEA}} Most of these were discovered by the [[Kepler space telescope]]. There are an additional 1,980 potential exoplanets from Kepler's first mission yet to be confirmed, as well as 976 from its "[[Kepler space telescope#Second Light (K2)|Second Light]]" mission and 4,734 from the [[Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite]] (TESS) mission.<ref name="NASA Counts Detail" />
