Sub-Neptune
The term sub-Neptune can refer to a planet with a smaller radius than Neptune even though it may have a larger mass[1] or to a planet with a smaller mass than Neptune even though it may have a larger radius like a super-puff and both meanings can even be used in the same publication.[2] Neptune-like planets are considerably rarer than sub-Neptune sized planets, despite being only slightly bigger.[3] This radius cliff is thought to arise because during formation when gas is accreting, the atmospheres of planets that size reach the pressures required to force the hydrogen into the magma ocean stalling radius growth.Then, once the magma ocean saturates, radius growth can continue.[3] On 29 November 2023, astronomers reported the discovery of six sub-Neptune exoplanets orbiting the star HD 110067, with radii ranging from 1.94 R🜨 to 2.85 R🜨.
