The bold question-askers at What If search for answers about whether Super-Earths could become humanity’s new home.

So magnetospheres in “super-Earths” could be more prevalent than previously thought, but also last longer than on Earth-sized rocky planets.

Super-Earths, in short, are planets with masses up to 10 times that of our planet, but still less than the masses of gas giant planets. The discovery came after a small extrasolar planet, ...

So-called "super-Earth" alien worlds may bear little resemblance to our own home planet and thus could be less likely to support life than previously believed, a new study suggests.Super-Earths ...

A super-Earth is an extrasolar planet that is close to Earth's size and mass, but does not have the mass of a gas giant.

Newly discovered super-Earths add to the list of planets around other stars that offer the best chance of finding life. An astronomer explains what makes these super-Earths such excellent candidates.

Super-Earth TOI-1452 b, depicted in this artist’s rendition, orbits a red dwarf star some 100 light-years away. It is 70 percent larger than Earth and five times our planet’s mass, with a ...

An international team of scientists discovered two "super-Earth" planets orbiting the same star roughly 100 light-years away from us – and one of them could be suitable to host human life.

The first super-Earths, two exoplanets with masses 4 times that of Earth, were found orbiting a pulsar called PSR B1257+12 in 1992. The first super-Earth around a main sequence star one that is on ...

Super-Earths are common, yet we don’t have one in our solar system. Photo Credit: NASA Kepler-452b was the first Earth-size planet discovered around a near solar twin.

Super-Earths can exist in wider orbits around their parent stars than was previously believed, suggesting these Earth-like exoplanets could be more common than we thought.
