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. [1]

28 Oct 2024 · Super-Earths – a class of planets unlike any in our solar system – are more massive than Earth yet lighter than ice giants like Neptune and Uranus, and can be made of gas, rock or a combination of both. They are between twice …

28 Jan 2025 · A Super-Earth in a Habitable Zone HD 20794 d is classified as a Super-Earth, a rocky planet larger than Earth but smaller than gas giants like Neptune. Measuring its mass and distance from its star revealed that it resides in the habitable zone—a region …

28 Jan 2025 · The exoplanet HD 20794 d, a super-Earth, has been discovered orbiting a G-type star 19.7 light-years away. It follows an eccentric orbit, oscillating in and out of the star's habitable zone, where ...

29 Jan 2025 · Aug. 1, 2022 — A super-Earth planet has been found near the habitable zone of a red dwarf star only 37 light-years from the Earth. This is the first discovery by a new instrument on the Subaru ...

Super-Earth, type of planet that is between about 2 to 10 times the mass of Earth. Some astronomers use a size criterion to define super-Earths as being planets with a radius slightly larger than that of Earth but less than that of Neptune (about 4 Earth radii).

31 Jan 2024 · The discovery: A “super-Earth” ripe for further investigation orbits a small, reddish star that is, by astronomical standards, fairly close to us – only 137 light-years away. The same system also might harbor a second, Earth-sized planet.

31 Jan 2024 · The recently discovered super-Earth, TOI-715 b, might be making its appearance at just the right time. Its parent star is a red dwarf, smaller and cooler than our Sun; a number of such stars are known to host small, rocky worlds. At the moment, they’re the best bet for finding habitable planets.

4 Oct 2022 · A newly discovered 'super-Earth' lies in the habitable zone around its star, and appears to be in a prime position for further atmospheric investigation.

28 Jan 2025 · A super-Earth planet that dips in and out of its star's habitable zone has been discovered just 19.7 light-years away. The planet, known as HD 20794d, gets farther out from its star than Mars is ...
