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.
Uranus
Maybe it's because they have to be extra large to be discovered.
There are 464 extrasolar planets, and 8 planets within our Solar System. This makes a total of 470 known planets.
Yes. So far nearly 2,000 extrasolar planets have been discovered.
Most extrasolar planets are found close to their parent stars because current planet detection methods are biased towards detecting larger planets that are closer to their stars due to the limitations of technology. These close-in planets are easier to detect because they have a greater impact on their star's light or motion. As technology and detection methods improve, we are discovering more distant planets from their stars.

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

You can find the names of some 260 different stars with planets circling them here: http://exoplanet.eu/

So far. Jupiter and Saturn
