Thanks in advance

Can you rephrase this question? Not sure what you mean exactly.

Um, size? Did i win?

We barely know existance of planet outside our system.
So, we can basically say by observing our system and say some are giant,
rest are earth? like...

Basically, bigger and farther away they are from the sun, more light gas it
can trap and get bigger.

May be its a trick question like : -
Whats the difference between a group of football fanatics and a flock of seagulls?

One may be hit on the back of the head from unpleasant ejected objects from either?

As to the original query: -
On Earthlike planets you get; Small atmospheres, Rocky denser bodies, Closer to the Sun, Warmer, Slower rotation periods, Fewer
natural satellites, no Rings, and Seagulls or Football fanatics.

I am all for the scientific method, but topics like this always get under my
skin. How can we really classify "the rules of planets" with such a small
data set? I mean we have at best 9-10 planets that we can observe, and only
one that we can observe with direct experiments. Surely, this is not enough
data to definitively say anything about other solar systems.

Hi Mark from Holland To answer your question I'm taking the liberty of
thinking the large planets can block some of the their suns light,and
seen as a dot passing across their suns surface in our line of view,and
Earth size planets are two small to create this black dot. Bert

We are babes reaching for an object. Each reach gets closer
to the correct direction. There has to be a starting point, BV.
There has to be a "first reach."

First reaches eventually lead to first steps.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Okay... let's see.

Giant planets are "giant."

Eartlike planets are "earthlike."

If you are asking the difference between how many extra solar giant planets
have been discovered vs. extrasolar earthlike planets, the numbers are 70
(or so) and zero.
