«This supports the idea that the star originally had a full complement of terrestrial planets, and probably gas giant planets, orbiting it — a complex system similar to our own.»

Using a lower bound of two Earth - masses, astronomers have been increasingly relying on the label «super-Earth» for extra-Solar planets that are probably too large to be very «Earth - like,» despite their search for planets with characteristics closer to the Solar System's four rocky inner, «terrrestrial» planets than gas giants.

I'm not sure I would put Jupiter and the gas giants into this particular picture, as they probably have at the very least different mechanisms for differential heating at the «bottom» of their «tropospheres» (whatever that means for planets that don't really have much of a surface, at least where it is relevant).
