List of all D&D planets?

The EN World kitten
I know gamers are big on making lists and indexing/cataloging aspects of their favorite games, so I wanted to ask this here.

Has anyone made a list of all of the worlds that appear in D&D products? I don't mean various campaign settings or whatever, but actual worlds, as in planets.

Obviously, there are the planets the official campaign settings take place on, as well as myriad ones from Spelljammer, but what about others, like Ortho (the planet from which the Harmonium faction, from Planescape, originated - as noted in The Planeswalker's Handbook).

What are all the worlds of D&D?

You make me smile. :D Another thing to note is some of the "worlds" might not exist in a universe that has...space. It could just be its own plane, or series of planes. Consistency is hard when you have so many storytellers in a room, but I suppose that's why D&D exists in a multi-multiverse. Despite all that, information like this pleases me, and it deserves to be noted. :devil:

Well, I suspect that most of these planets will be from Second Edition, which had a very defined cosmology. Worlds on the Prime Material Plane were actual planets inside crystal spheres that floated in the Phlogiston.

That's particularly true if they were named worlds, rather than one-off places that were meant to be quick adventure locales.
 

There is Ranais which was mentioned in Dead Gods and possibly a few other planar books.

I'm not sure about other worlds that have a brief mention in some book (like Ortho or Ranais), but here is a list of worlds from various settings in case you missed any of these:

Toril - Forgotten Realms, Al-Qadim, Kara-Tur, Maztica
Krynn - Dragonlance
Oerth - Greyhawk
Athas - Dark Sun
Aebrynis - Birthright
Eberron - Eberron
Tellene - Kingdoms of Kalamar
Nehwon - Lankhmar
Mystara - Mystara, Hollow World, Savage Coast, Blackmoor
Ningen-Do - Rokugan (Oriental Adventures)
Earth - Pelinore, Masque of the Red Death

There is also this list if you want to include the bazillion Spelljammer worlds:

As the impetus for the original question posed by Alzrius, I'll come out of retirement on the boards long enough to throw my two cp in.
My curiosity comes from reading the pdf "Guide to the Spheres"
By Paul Westermeyer on Spelljammer.org and although well written and informative, it also appears to ignore all of the planescape products which reference planets or worlds. It als includes Hackmaster worlds which might grate on some people, but I find useful for a spelljamming game.

Take a gander and see you think.

Modern Day Earth. The IM1 module called the Immortal Storm occurs in New York City. The purple worm that has to be fought in the subway system is a highlight of the module.
 

Not having seen the Guide to the Spheres PDF, nor Rip's list of worlds, I have to say that these are invaluable resources for anyone looking into the "canon" D&D universe.

Thanks for the links everyone!
