## List

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

The sizes are listed in units of Earth radii (R⊕). All planets listed are smaller than Earth, up to 0.7 Earth radii. The NASA Exoplanet Archive is used as the main data source.[1][2]
