A "Super-Earth" is a type of exoplanet that has a mass larger than that of Earth but significantly less than that of Uranus or Neptune. These planets typically have a mass between 1 and 10 times that of Earth and can be rocky, gaseous, or a combination of both. Super-Earths are of great interest to scientists because they may have conditions suitable for life. Many Super-Earths are located in the habitable zone of their stars, where temperatures allow for liquid water to exist. This makes them prime candidates for the search for extraterrestrial life. The study of Super-Earths helps astronomers understand planetary formation and the diversity of planets in the universe.
