== A Super-Earth Definition ==

Most astronomers consider a Super-Earth to be a planet with a mass between Earth and Neptune. But this definition is wrong. A Super-Earth should be compared between Earth and Uranus. Uranus has a lower mass than Neptune, but it's mass is still 14 times that of Earth. Neptune has 17 Earth masses. According to the definition astronomers generally use, Uranus is an ice dwarf or gas dwarf, or a Super-Earth. ] (]) 00:45, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

In 2011, the density of 55 Cancri e was determined. It is currently the largest Super Earth with a solid surface.

In 2014, the densities around Kepler-51 were announced. Although the outermost planet's mass is in the range of Super Earth's, its size is larger than Saturn's. --Artman40 (talk) 10:08, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
