No, although it is difficult to spot exoplanets, so only the larger ones are often found. Most systems with identified planets most likely have many other smaller planets that we cant detect. A planet the size of Earth or Mercury is nearly impossible to detect with current technology.

Scientists once thought that planetary systems like our solar system would be scarce. But recent discoveries have found planets circling many or most of the nearby stars.
