The Closest Exoplanets to Earth
An essential description of the fifteen planetary systems closest to Earth, located within four parsecs of the Sun
Almost all orbit around red dwarfs: stars very different from the Sun, smaller, much less bright and generally much more active than the Sun. Some of these planets are located within the habitable zone, which allows the presence of liquid water. There may even be life on some of the exoplanets in our galactic neighborhood, but it’s not easy to ascertain.
