These super-Earths orbit sun-like stars and tend to be habitable planet candidates, since their conditions most resemble those we know to support life.

NASA defined "super-Earth" as "unlike anything in our solar system, these are 2 to 10 times the mass of Earth, but smaller than Neptune, and can be made of gas, rock or a combination of both." ...
