The plane(t)s of the Aedra mainfest themselves as spheres (not sure how loreified this is) but nirn is the only actual planet.
Or so one would believe. I'm not that familiar with lore as of now, but I'd assume there's as much superstition and limited knowledge on Tamriel as there were (and still are) irl.
Edit: Or differences in perspective and in the creation of the objective world.
