WHAT DOES EXOPLANET MEAN IN ENGLISH?

exoplanet

Exoplanet

An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. Around 1800 such planets have been discovered[5][6][7].[8] The Kepler mission space telescope has also detected a few thousand[9][10] candidate planets,[11][12] of which about 11% may be false positives.[13] There are at least 100 billion planets in the Milky Way, with at least one planet on average per star.[1][2][3][14] The Milky Way also contains possibly trillions of rogue planets, which are not bound to any star.[15] Around 1 in 5 Sun-like stars[a] have an "Earth-sized"[b] planet in the habitable[c] zone, so the nearest would be expected to be within 12 light-years distance from Earth.[16][17] There could be as many as 40 billion Earth-sized planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars and red dwarfs within the Milky Way.[17][18] 11 billion of these estimated planets may be orbiting Sun-like stars.[19] On February 26, 2014, NASA announced the discovery of 715 newly verified exoplanets around 305 stars by the Kepler Space Telescope. These exoplanets were checked using a statistical technique called "verification by multiplicity".
