# List of smallest exoplanets

Below is a list of the smallest exoplanets so far discovered, in terms of physical size, ordered by radius.

## List

The sizes are listed in units of Earth radii (R$_🜨$). All planets listed are smaller than Earth and Venus, up to 0.7 Earth radii. The NASA Exoplanet Archive is used as the main data source.

### Excluded objects

Kepler-37e is listed with a radius of 0.37±0.18 R$_🜨$ in the Exoplanet Archive based on KOI data, but the existence of this planet is doubtful, and assuming its existence, a 2023 study found a mass of 8.1±1.7 M$_🜨$, inconsistent with such a small radius.
KOI-6705.01, listed as a potential very small planet in the KOI dataset, was shown to be a false positive in 2016.

## Candidate planets

Below shows a list candidate planets below 0.7 R$_🜨$. These planets have yet to be confirmed.
