c Planets come in a wider range of types than the planets in our solar system

Explanation:

Planets in our solar system come in a broader range of types than the planet in our stellar system.

For example, there may be other planets in size comparable to Jupiter but much higher or lower in mass, or planets in size similar to Earth but mostly made of liquid.

Kepler 452b, is plant quite similar to that of earth, about 1024 light years away from Earth in Cygnus constellation.
