These are pretty weird. I doubt that a sci-fi author could have come up with them:

An exoplanet, or extrasolar planet, is a planet that orbits a star other than our sun.
As of 2021, over 4,000 exoplanets have been confirmed and thousands more are awaiting confirmation.
Exoplanets can be discovered through various methods, such as the transit method, radial velocity method, direct imaging, and microlensing.
The top 10 exoplanets on this list have been chosen based on their unique characteristics, such as being potentially habitable, having extreme temperatures or atmospheres, or being similar to Earth in size and composition.
Studying exoplanets can give us a better understanding of how planets form and evolve, as well as the potential for life in other parts of the universe. It can also help us learn more about our own solar system and the conditions necessary for life to exist.
