This is a very self explanatory achievement. One important thing to note though, is you don't have to do this in one playthrough!
Another important thing to note is while you don't have to do this is one playthrough, they do need to be 100 different planets. You can't just go back and forth between a couple planets until this unlocks.
Just thought I'd add this for anyone wondering. If you're ever curious how many you have, you can find your total in the pause menu>
status>exploration. Good luck 
Edit: According to BlueMuztang96, moons also count so planets that have several moons will save you some time.

If you're wondering whether or not you've already been to a planet, you only get the landing animation (1st or 3rd person of the ship, doesn't matter) if you've never landed on a planet before. Also, if you see a Landing Spot you set on a planet when looking for resources, that's pretty clearly already been to as well.

It appears Moons count, just in case anyone was curious! You won't be wasting your time.

In order to unlock the Boots on the Ground achievement all you need to do is land on 100 planets. You don’t need to do anything on them, just land on them - you don’t even need to get out of your ship.
The quickest way to do this is to find a galaxy with lots of planets, and just use the menu system to bounce from one to the next. So, go to Starmap in the main menu, go to a star system, click on a Planet, click Set Course, then hold
to travel. This will take you to the orbit or said planet. There, hit 
on the planet, then to open the map up, and then to set a landing target, and then to travel. Rinse and repeat 100 times.
I wouldn’t personally rush this, though, to be honest, as a lot of the different quests, faction quests and side quests take you to a whole host of different planets. If you’ve still not visited 100 planets by the time you’ve done everything, I’ll be very shocked.
To keep track of how many planets you’ve landed on, hit the
button, then hit 
and then scroll down to Exploration, where it’ll tell you how many “Planets [you’ve] Landed On.” Get that number to 100, and you’ll unlock this achievement.
