This list includes systems with at least three confirmed planets or two confirmed planets where additional candidates have been proposed. The stars with the most confirmed planets are the Sun (the Solar System's star) and Kepler-90, with 8 confirmed planets each, followed by TRAPPIST-1 with 7 planets. The 1,033 multiplanetary systems are listed ...
An extragalactic planet, also known as an extragalactic exoplanet or an extroplanet, [1] [2] [3] is a star-bound planet or rogue planet located outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Due to the immense distances to such worlds, they would be very hard to detect directly. However, indirect evidences suggest that such planets exist.
The IAU's names for exoplanets – and on most occasions their host stars – are chosen by the Executive Committee Working Group (ECWG) on Public Naming of Planets and Planetary Satellites, a group working parallel with the Working Group on Star Names (WGSN). [1] Proper names of stars chosen by the ECWG are explicitly recognised by the WGSN. [1]
Title Planet Star Data Notes Most massive The most massive planet is difficult to define due to the blurry line between planets and brown dwarfs.If the borderline is defined as the deuterium fusion threshold (roughly 13 M J at solar metallicity [29] [b]), the most massive planets are those with true mass closest to that cutoff; if planets and brown dwarfs are differentiated based on formation ...
This is a list of confirmed exoplanets within the circumstellar habitable zone that are either under 10 Earth masses or smaller than 2.5 Earth radii, and thus have a chance of being rocky. [3] [1] Note that inclusion on this list does not guarantee habitability, and in particular the larger planets are more unlikely to have a rocky composition. [4]

There are 7,408 known exoplanets, or planets outside the Solar System that orbit a star, as of January 26, 2024; only a small fraction of these are located in the vicinity of the Solar System. [2] Within 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years ), there are 106 exoplanets listed as confirmed by the NASA Exoplanet Archive .
