Definition1/13
Jupiter Neptune
The 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.
