Comparison of Planet Sizes: Exoplanets

Audience: 3rd grade and older

This slide compares the difference in size between planets in our solar system and with three kinds of exoplanets: Super Earth, Neptunian and Gas Giants.

A "Super Earth" is a type of planet observed in exo systems that is intriguing scientists because there is nothing similar to it in our solar system.
