Explore confirmed exoplanets from NASA's Exoplanet Archive
An exoplanet, or extrasolar planet, is a planet that orbits a star outside our solar system. These distant worlds range from rocky planets similar to Earth to gas giants larger than Jupiter, and they may exist in habitable zones where conditions could potentially support life.
Data is sourced from NASA's Exoplanet Archive and may be revised as catalog records improve over time. Summaries and comparisons on Cosmic Index are generated from those published catalog fields.
Most exoplanet entries are incomplete because not every planet is measured the same way. Transit discoveries usually give you radius, radial-velocity detections usually give you mass, and only a subset have both. Habitability-style filters are best treated as rough screening tools, not proof of Earth-like conditions.
Why it matters
Use this page to compare discovery method, size category, distance, and host-star context together. The most reliable pattern is relative comparison: which planets are larger, hotter, farther, or better characterized than others.
Search by exoplanet name or host star. Use filters to narrow results by discovery method, year, or other criteria.
