- Appearance of extrasolar planets - The appearance of extrasolar planets is largely unknown because of the difficulty in making direct observations of extrasolar planets. In addition, many extrasolar planets have no analogues in our solar system, for example the hot Jupiters.
- List of stars with confirmed extrasolar planets - The following are lists of stars with confirmed extrasolar planets.
- List of extrasolar planet extremes - The following are lists of extremes among the known extrasolar planets. The properties listed here are those for which values are reliably known for the majority of the known sample of extrasolar planets, thus extremes of properties such as radius and temperature are not listed.
- List of unconfirmed exoplanets - This is a list of unconfirmed extrasolar planets. When a planet is confirmed, please remove it from this list and move it to List of stars with confirmed extrasolar planets.
- Methods of detecting extrasolar planets - Any planet is an extremely faint light source compared to its parent star. In addition to the intrinsic difficulty of detecting such a faint light source, the light from the parent star causes a glare that washes it out.
