The surprising thing to me is how MANY extra-solar planets have been discovered. Considering the limitations of the Kepler Space Telescope's design, this indicates that there may be planets around a majority of the stars.
As of now, there are over 4,000 confirmed extrasolar planets, also known as exoplanets, in our universe. This number is constantly growing as new planets are discovered through various astronomical techniques.
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.

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
Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.

The extrasolar planets discovered so far most resemble those in our own solar system, including rocky planets, ice giants, and gas giants. However, there is a wide variety of exoplanets with unique characteristics that differ from those we find in our solar system.
The current planets being discovered are called "Exoplanets" or "Extrasolar Planets" which means they are planets found outside of our solar system. New ones are constantly being discovered. We are currently getting closer to discovering one within the habitable zone of another star.

Go to Wikipedia and search the article "Extrasolar planets". It has links to several lists of planets and planetary systems.
