Two dozen so-called superhabitable alien worlds may be as good as or better than Earth for life as we know it.

These two exoplanet sites do not list as confirmed, The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia (exoplanet.eu) and NASA Exoplanet Archive (caltech.edu)
I selected masses 1.4 to 1.6 earth masses and found 7 exoplanets listed in this mass range. They all have very short orbital periods, ranging 0.446 day to 12.76 days. They also show high temperatures calculated, 508 K to 1683 K. Here is the list.

What do you mean by "not confirmed"?So far, superhabitable earths or exoplanets remain not confirmed.
Yes, but eating a banana is very destructive for the banana but good for you.So far, life on other worlds remains not confirmed. Planet building using gas clouds collapsing is a very destructive process as many reports today show, example.

So confirmation of life on exoplanets, not confirmation of exoplanets, Just wanted to be sure.*What do you mean by "not confirmed"?*
The same standard of confirmation that does not confirm life on any other worlds presently. The same standard of confirmation required to demonstrate that the Earth moves around the Sun and not the Sun moving around the Earth
Correct Helio. What I was pointing to is that superhabitable exoplanets, remain to be confirmed and shown as true in nature like Earth can be shown moving around the Sun. We have many examples of exoplanets but confirming and showing any have life on them or can be described as superhabitable is a work in progressSo confirmation of life on exoplanets, not confirmation of exoplanets, Just wanted to be sure.
Yes, you make a very fair point. We can argue what is habitable and what is not, but what we are really saying is that there is at least a fighting chance for life if the planet is in the zone where liquid water is a sure bet.Correct Helio.
