Jupiter Neptune
The planet that most extrasolar planets resembles Jupiter.

Most of the confirmed Exoplanets are larger gaseous planets with large masses. These are easier to detect and confirm due to their size. They most resemble Jupiter, although many are thought to be much larger than our largest planet.

Most of the known extrasolar planets are more massive than Earth because massive planets are easier to detect. We have detected planets smaller than Earth.
Astronomers use various methods to discover extrasolar planets, also known as exoplanets. These methods include the transit method (detecting a planet as it passes in front of its star), the radial velocity method (detecting a wobble in a star's motion caused by an orbiting planet), direct imaging (taking pictures of exoplanets), and gravitational microlensing (observing the bending of light from a distant star due to a foreground planet).
As of now, there are over 4,000 confirmed extrasolar planets, also known as exoplanets, in our universe. This number is constantly growing as new planets are discovered through various astronomical techniques.
There are eight known planets. Pluto was once considered a planet, but it is no longer officially considered a planet.There are eight known planets.

We tend to see the large planets farthest away from their stars. So it is unlikely we will find any small planets close to their star similar to Mercury.
Most known extrasolar planets are categorized as "hot Jupiters," massive gas giants that orbit close to their host star. These planets are similar in size to Jupiter but have high surface temperatures due to their proximity to the star.
They least resemble rocky planets like Venus Earth and Mars, particularly they least resemble planets that we would consider as possible life sustaining planets.
Most known extrasolar planets least resemble Earth, both in terms of size and distance from their parent stars. Gas giants, hot Jupiters, and super-Earths are more common than small, rocky planets like Earth among the exoplanets discovered so far.
Of what we have found most are the size of Jupiter or larger. But we know many more extrasolar planets exist that we simply cannot detect. If we were to draw hypotheses on what planets are most abundant they would either be similar to dwarf planets. Or, if the reader does not view dwarf planets as true planets then planets the size of ones in the terrestrial zone like: Mercury, Venus, or Earth. Are probably the most abundant.
Most known extrasolar planets least resemble Earth due to their extreme characteristics such as being extremely close to their parent star, having very short orbital periods, or being much larger than Jupiter. These differences make them fundamentally different from Earth in terms of habitability and physical properties.

Be cause we can see the big ones more easily, especially those close to their star (because they transit/orbit with a short time interval) most exoplanets are Jupiter like (or larger) and are hot. Hence they are called Hot Jupiters.
Mars The inner planets such as Mars, Earth or Mercury. these are too small to identify in other systems and too close to the star.
Most of the known extrasolar planets are more massive than Earth because massive planets are easier to detect. We have detected planets smaller than Earth.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are known to have rings. Extrasolar planets may as well.
There are 464 extrasolar planets, and 8 planets within our Solar System. This makes a total of 470 known planets.
