Answer 2

"Super-Earths" is a bit of a play on words because the only thing they have in common with our Earth is that there terrestrial (rocky) planets like Earth. The super-earths have gravity that would crush humans and there 4 to 5 time bigger than our Earth, as for the atmosphere on the planets i'm not sure but i'm willing to wager that humans can't survive in the planets atmosphere either.

Answer 3

Sorta like super-man, but goes around kicking galactic butt. For instance when Orion tried to steal Cancers nebula, super-earth kicked its *** and demoted it from constellation to gaseous cloud.
