3d model of super planet earth - Super Earth 6 by Michael Taylor

A super-Earth is an extrasolar planet more massive than the Earth, but theoretically less massive than a gas giant. The term super-Earth refers only to the mass of the planet and does not imply anything about the surface conditions or habitability: in particular it does not imply that the planet would have a similar temperature or environment to Earth. There is some uncertainty regarding the specific mass range to which this label should apply: Valencia et al. (2007) define a super-Earth as a terrestrial planet with a mass between 1 and 10 Earth masses
