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-tellurian is a type of exoplanet with a mass higher than Earth, 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.

By Irene Klotz BOSTON (Reuters) - Astronomers have discovered a new type of rocky planet beyond the solar system that weighs more than 17 times as much as Earth while being just over twice the ...
Proposition 6 states that the Moon moves [in an orbit] lower than [that of] the Sun, and, when it is halved, is distant less than a quadrant from the Sun (Heath 1913:372). Proposition 7 states that the distance of the Sun from the Earth is greater than 18 times, but less than 20 times, the distance of the Moon from the Earth (Heath 1913:377 ...
Hycean planets could be considerably larger than previous estimates for habitable planets, with radii reaching 2.6 R 🜨 (2.3 R 🜨) and masses of 10 M E (5 M E). [7] Moreover, the habitable zone of such planets could be considerably larger than that of Earth-like planets.
A giant planet, sometimes referred to as a jovian planet (Jove being another name for the Roman god Jupiter), is a diverse type of planet much larger than Earth. Giant planets are usually primarily composed of low-boiling point materials (), rather than rock or other solid matter, but massive solid planets can also exist.
A comet known as the "Devil Comet," twice the size of Mount Everest, is currently approaching Earth. This comet, scientifically labeled as 12P/Pons-Brooks, is a periodic comet with an orbital ...

4.4 Tm – 29.4 au – perihelion distance of Pluto; 4.5 Tm – 30.1 au – average distance between Neptune and the Sun; 4.5 Tm – 30.1 au – inner radius of the Kuiper belt; 5.7 Tm – 38.1 au – perihelion distance of Eris; 6.0 Tm – 40.5 au – distance from Earth at which the Pale Blue Dot photograph was taken.
