    The size of solid bodies does not include an object's atmosphere. For example, Titan looks bigger than Ganymede, but its solid body is smaller. For the giant planets , the "radius" is defined as the distance from the center at which the atmosphere reaches 1 bar of atmospheric pressure.

    The sizes are listed in units of Jupiter radii (R J, 71 492 km).This list is designed to include all planets that are larger than 1.6 times the size of Jupiter.Some well-known planets that are smaller than 1.6 R J (17.93 R 🜨 or 114 387.2 km) have been included for the sake of comparison.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andorian

    The non-canonical Star Trek Star Charts (2002) cites Andoria as the seventh planet in orbit around the star Procyon (Alpha Canis Minoris) in the Beta quadrant, [6] but previous material has Andoria as the eighth planet of the orange dwarf Epsilon Indi in the Alpha quadrant. [7] [8] Andoria is near Betazed, Earth, Tellar, and Vulcan.

  8. List of exoplanets discovered by the Kepler space telescope

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_exoplanets...

    The exoplanets were found using a statistical technique called "verification by multiplicity". 95% of the discovered exoplanets were smaller than Neptune and four, including Kepler-296f, were less than 2 1/2 the size of Earth and were in habitable zones where surface temperatures are suitable for liquid water.

  9. Exoplanet orbital and physical parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet_orbital_and...

    When the size of a planet is described using its radius, this is approximating the shape by a sphere. However, the rotation of a planet causes it to be flattened at the poles; so the equatorial radius is larger than the polar radius, making it closer to an oblate spheroid. The oblateness of transiting exoplanets will affect the transit light ...
