How many planets are in our system? Nine, that’s right. Take a tour of our nine planets and see what is so spectacular about each of them. When exploring remember to keep in mind where you are in outer space when you are visiting each planet. How far away are you from Earth? How is the planet you are exploring different from the planet you live on?
