(“Small” meaning within thousands of light-years of our solar system; one light-year equals 5.88 trillion miles, or 9.46 trillion kilometers.) Even the closest known exoplanet to Earth, <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/exoplanet-catalog/proxima-centauri-b/">Proxima Centauri b</a>, is still about 4 light-years away. We know there are more planets than stars in the galaxy.</p> <p>By measuring exoplanets’ sizes (diameters) and masses (weights), we can see compositions ranging from rocky (like Earth and Venus) to gas-rich (like Jupiter and Saturn). Some planets may be dominated by water or ice, while others are dominated by iron or carbon.
