Scientists have discovered thousands of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, using various methods such as transit photometry and radial velocity. These planets exhibit a wide range of sizes, compositions, and orbital characteristics, with some located in their star's habitable zone, where conditions might support liquid water. Research continues to focus on understanding their atmospheres and potential for hosting life. Advances in telescope technology and observational techniques are enhancing our ability to study these distant worlds in detail.
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.

light from the they orbit makes it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescope
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.
Both exoplanet and extrasolar planet are planets that are outside the solar sysytem.

Yes. So far nearly 2,000 extrasolar planets have been discovered.

About 100 extrasolar planets are thought to have been discovered. All are giants and probably most resemble Jupiter
