These bodies cannot be “planets outside the solar system”. We can call them exoplanets, but to refer to them as “planets outside the solar system” makes as much sense as referring to cats as “quadrupedal carnivorous humans that meow and purr”.
It’s just a lain fact that there are no planets outside of the solar system. There cannot be by definition.
Taking this in reverse order:
Therefore not a one of these things is a planet. 71.236.206.225 ( talk) 14:28, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
There are eleven entries in the "External links". Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four. The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
Minimize the number of links. Trim per above. -- Otr500 ( talk) 17:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Life prefers CHZ exoplanets around low metallicity stars?
Added cited Text - Reverted by ip.
QUESTION: - Is the following cited Text a worthy addition to the Exoplanet article - or Not? - Comments Welcome.
In April 2023, astronomers reported studies which concluded that, "... planets in the
habitable zones of stars with
low metallicity are the best targets to search for
complex life on land."

Now have a 7026 confirmed exoplanets in 4949 systems and 1007 of them is multiplanetary. Suggestind to remove template and manually set new numbers. Or set template for weekly renewing. The month cycle is too long. ГеоргиУики ( talk) 05:58, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
