What is the most common type of exoplanet discovered to date?
Which exoplanet is known for its extreme proximity to its host star, resulting in a very short orbital period?
What is the term used to describe exoplanets that are located within the habitable zone of their host star, where liquid water could potentially exist on their surfaces?
Which exoplanet system is known for having seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a single star, three of which are located within the habitable zone?
What is the largest exoplanet discovered to date, with a mass several times that of Jupiter?
Which exoplanet is notable for its high density, suggesting a rocky composition similar to Earth?
What is the term used to describe exoplanets that are tidally locked to their host stars, resulting in one side always facing the star and the other side always facing away?
Which exoplanet is known for its extreme temperature variations, with a dayside that is extremely hot and a nightside that is extremely cold?
What is the term used to describe exoplanets that have a thick atmosphere composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, similar to gas giants in our solar system?
Which exoplanet is known for its retrograde orbit, meaning it orbits its host star in the opposite direction of the star's rotation?
What is the term used to describe exoplanets that are located outside of the habitable zone of their host star, where liquid water cannot exist on their surfaces?
Which exoplanet is known for its extreme eccentricity, meaning its orbit around its host star is highly elliptical?
What is the term used to describe exoplanets that have a composition similar to Earth, with a rocky core and a thin atmosphere?
Which exoplanet is known for its large size and low density, suggesting a composition dominated by hydrogen and helium?
What is the term used to describe exoplanets that have a thick atmosphere composed primarily of water vapor?
