We tend to see the large planets farthest away from their stars. So it is unlikely we will find any small planets close to their star similar to Mercury.

Which planet do most known extrasolar planets most resemble?

Jupiter NeptuneThe planet that most extrasolar planets resembles Jupiter.Jupiter(apex)Most of the confirmed Exoplanets are larger gaseous planets with large masses. These are easier to detect and confirm due to their size. They most resemble Jupiter, although many are thought to be much larger than our largest planet.


Which planet do most known extrasolar planets LEAST resemble?

Mars The inner planets such as Mars, Earth or Mercury. these are too small to identify in other systems and too close to the star.


What planets do most known extrasolar planets least resemble?

They least resemble rocky planets like Venus Earth and Mars, particularly they least resemble planets that we would consider as possible life sustaining planets.


Which planet do most known extrasolar planet most resemble?

Of what we have found most are the size of Jupiter or larger. But we know many more extrasolar planets exist that we simply cannot detect. If we were to draw hypotheses on what planets are most abundant they would either be similar to dwarf planets. Or, if the reader does not view dwarf planets as true planets then planets the size of ones in the terrestrial zone like: Mercury, Venus, or Earth. Are probably the most abundant.


What planet do most known extrasolar planets resemble?

Be cause we can see the big ones more easily, especially those close to their star (because they transit/orbit with a short time interval) most exoplanets are Jupiter like (or larger) and are hot. Hence they are called Hot Jupiters.

What planet has 60 moons?

There is not a planet in our solar system with exactly 60 moons. Saturn has 62 known moons, and Jupiter has 66. As far as extrasolar planets, about 770 have been identified. However, it's a tricky business finding the planets at all; no extrasolar moons have yet been identified.

Why are extrasolar planets more massive than earth?

Most of the known extrasolar planets are more massive than Earth because massive planets are easier to detect. We have detected planets smaller than Earth.


What planets have ringed systems?

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are known to have rings. Extrasolar planets may as well.


How many planets have been found?

There are 464 extrasolar planets, and 8 planets within our Solar System. This makes a total of 470 known planets.
