This largest, most massive and outermost planet orbits every ~331.6 days at a separation of 1.01 AU which is within the habitable zone of Kepler-90 and thus could theoretically have a habitable Earth-like exomoon. 70 Virginis b (70 Vir b, "Goldilocks") ~ 1 [207] ← ≥ 7.40 ± 0.02 [207] Third exoplanet discovered orbiting around a main ...
TrES-4b is an extrasolar planet, and one of the largest exoplanets ever found. It was discovered in 2006, and announced in 2007, by the Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey, using the transit method. It is approximately 1,400 light-years (430 pc) away orbiting the star GSC 02620-00648, in the constellation Hercules. [1]
K2-38b, also designated EPIC 204221263 b, is a massive rocky exoplanet closely orbiting a Sun-like star and is one of the densest planets ever found.Discovered in 2016 by Crossfield et al. and later characterized by Sinukoff et al., K2-38b is a rocky super-Earth about 55% larger than Earth (nearly 20,000 km wide) but about 12 times more massive (around 7.2*10^25 kg, a bit less than Uranus ...
Despite the uncertainty of the planet's properties, a 2017 study calculated HD 100546 b as a very highly reddened substellar object with a good-fit effective temperature of 2,630 K and a planetary mass and radius of 25 M Jup and 3.4 R Jup, making it still one of the largest exoplanets discovered by size.

Illustration of the inferred size of the super-Earth CoRoT-7b (center) in comparison with Earth and Neptune. A Super-Earth or super-terran or super-tellurianis a type of exoplanet with a mass higher than Earth's, but substantially below those of the Solar System's ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, which are 14.5 and 17.1 times Earth's, respectively.

Assuming the largest distance value from the microlensing light-curve, the planet OGLE-2017-BLG-0364Lb might be more distant, at around 32 600 light-years (10 000 pc). [2] SGR 1935+2154 b could also be the most distant exoplanet, with distance estimates ranging from 21,500 [3] to 28,400 ly. [4]
