37.5% not including PlutoFirst Answer:50% including Pluto.Second Answer:Of the eight planets in our solar system, three are smaller than earth. 3/8 = 38%.However, we also know (to date) of more than a thousand other planets, orbiting distant stars. None of these planets so far is smaller than earth, but that it because planets as tiny as ours are difficult to detect. We expect probably half of all planets would be our size or smaller.
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
Isaac Newton stated that the universal law of gravitation keeps moons orbiting planets and planets orbiting the sun. This law describes how every mass attracts every other mass in the universe with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
All of the planets are in the same atmosphere. All of the planets are unique. All of the planets are considered planets. All of the planets have moons. All of the planets are named after a mythical person or thing.
No, all the planets, including the Earth, orbit the Sun.
Without the planets orbiting the sun all the planets would be cold and dark
Orbiting stars. We know of eight planets orbiting our Sun, and we know of over 300 planets orbiting other stars.

Mercury. There are many smaller bodies orbiting the Sun but they are not classed as planets.
Rogue planets. These planets drift through space without orbiting a star.
There may be planets orbiting stars in the constellation Gemini, but planets do not orbit whole constellations.
A series of planets orbiting a star is called a Solar System
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
There are no planets orbiting Earth.
The gravitational pull between the planets and the sun keep the planets orbiting the sun all day everyday.
No. All of the objects in out solar system labeled as dwarf planets are smaller than the smallest of the planets. The gas planets are the largest planets.
