  1. Do you mean gas giants? The only one I know of so far is Gliese 581c!


  2. Probably billions.  The gas giants are just the ones that are easy to find.



  3. Closest planet to 1 MEarth PSR 1257+12 C PSR 1257+12 3.9 MEarth



    Closest planet to 1 AU orbital HD 142 b (gas giant) HD 142 0.980 AU

    HD 28185 b (gas giant) HD 28185 1.031 AU

    HD 128311 b (gas giant) HD 128311 1.02 AU

    Closest planet to 365-day orbit HD 142 b (gas giant) HD 142 337 d

    HD 92788 b (gas giant) HD 92788 378 d

    Closest to 300 K Mu Arae e Mu Arae 308 K

    Gliese 581 c Gliese 581 290 K; A first Earth-like planet in habitable zone, possibility of liquid water.

    heh its a short list :(


  4. Only a handful can be confirmed as rocky bodies, while no official estimate has been released, its fair to say that they are in the minority.
