List of largest exoplanets

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

List

The sizes are listed in units of Jupiter radii (RJ, R♃). All planets listed are larger than the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
