Planets and Exoplanets Size Comparison: Exploring Exoplanets

A planet is an astronomical object that is massive enough to get a spherical shape due to its own gravity, not so hot and dense to start the nuclear fusion process and its surrounding region should be free of planetesimals or smaller bodies.

Planets are divided into two main categories: smaller Rocky terrestrials and low-density Giant planets which are further divided into Gas giants and ice giants.

In the solar system, there are 8 planets: Out of which Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are rocky planets whereas Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are low-density Giant planets.

Exoplanets like Super-Earth, Mini-Neptune, and Hot Jupiter have not been found yet in our solar system. Giant Planets that orbit too close to the sun are called hot Jupiters.
