The stars with the most confirmed planets are the Sun (the Solar System's star) and Kepler-90, with 8 confirmed planets each, followed by TRAPPIST-1 with 7 planets. The 1,033 multiplanetary systems are listed below according to the star's distance from Earth. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System, has three planets (b, c and d).
This category contains articles about star systems, which are groups of two or more gravitationally-bound stars in a region usually smaller than one light-year. Star clusters (groups of many more stars that occupy a much larger region) are listed in Category:Star clusters.
A multiple star system consists of two or more stars that appear from Earth to be close to one another in the sky. [dubious – discuss] This may result from the stars actually being physically close and gravitationally bound to each other, in which case it is a physical multiple star, or this closeness may be merely apparent, in which case it is an optical multiple star [a] Physical multiple ...

Optical companions (stars that appear to be close together but are physically unrelated) do not count. Star systems placed here should be categorized by their number of components. Trinary star systems are listed under Category:Triple star systems, while binary stars are listed under Category:Binary stars
