How many planets are there in Vedic astrology?

Nine — the Navagraha: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, plus the two lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are not used in classical Vedic astrology.

What is the difference between a planet in a house and a planet in a sign?

The sign describes how a planet behaves — its temperament and strength. The house describes where in your life that behaviour shows up. Venus in Taurus says the same planet is comfortable; Venus in the 3rd house says it acts through communication, siblings and short travel. A reading needs both.

Which planet is strongest in my chart?

It depends on sign placement, house, aspects and dasha period rather than on any single rule. Generate your free Janam Kundli to see each graha's actual position, its exaltation or debilitation, and the running Vimshottari dasha.
