This poster visualizes over 800 known exoplanets believed to be rocky or terrestrial, arranged by the amount of heat they receive, comparing their relative sizes and providing a window to how they might look like.

Data about the sizes and equilibrium temperatures of hundreds of exoplanets was gathered from The Extrasolar Planet Encyclopaedia, NASA Exoplanet Archive and ExoKyoto.
