As of now, one of the most Earth-like exoplanets discovered is Proxima Centauri b, located about 4.2 light-years away in the habitable zone of its star, Proxima Centauri. It has a similar size to Earth and receives a comparable amount of energy from its star, which could allow for liquid water to exist on its surface. However, its potential habitability is complicated by the stellar activity of Proxima Centauri, which can produce harmful radiation. Ongoing research aims to explore its atmosphere and conditions further.
The average size of an exoplanet is generally larger than Earth but smaller than gas giants like Jupiter. Most exoplanets discovered so far have a size between that of Earth and Neptune.
The average size of an exoplanet is roughly similar to that of Earth, with most falling within the range of terrestrial planets like Mercury, Venus, and Mars, as well as super-Earths. However, exoplanets can vary significantly in size, ranging from smaller than Earth to much larger than Jupiter.
Most known extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, are found around stars similar to our Sun, with many in the Milky Way galaxy. The most extensively studied exoplanet is probably 51 Pegasi b, discovered in 1995, which was the first confirmed exoplanet orbiting a Sun-like star. Other well-known exoplanets include Kepler-186f, the first Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of another star, and TRAPPIST-1 system, which has seven Earth-sized planets, three of which are in the habitable zone. These discoveries have been made possible by missions like NASA's Kepler Space Telescope and TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite).
The exoplanet you are referring to is likely Kepler-10c, which is about 2.35 times the Earth's diameter and 5.8 times its mass. It is considered a "mega-Earth" and is found in the constellation Draco.
Exoplanet GJ 1214 b is tidally locked to its parent star, which means one side always faces the star while the other side is in perpetual darkness. As a result, it does not have a rotation period like Earth does.

We do not know enough about conditions on any exoplanet to determine if any would be suitable for humans.
Some may be, but most found so far are not Earth-like. Also, no life forms have been found yet. Currently we do not have the technology that would allow us to determine whether an exoplanet has life.
51 Pegasi itself isn't an exoplanet, it's a Sun-like Star. But it does have an Exoplanet orbiting it, 51 Pegasi b (informally named Bellerophon.).

The darkest exoplanet is "TRES-2B".
No. An exoplanet is a planet outside of our Solar System.
It would have to have: Liquid on its surface (Temperature) Atmosphere Stable orbit Needs about Earth's gravity
