Transit observations and radial velocity measurements, have begun to populate the mass-radius diagram for extrasolar planets; future coronagraphic imaging should add to the picture. Clearly, the radius of a planet indicates something about a planet's composition--but what? I will attempt to answer this question in general for low-mass planets (< Neptune mass) taking into account the wide range of possible planet chemistries, from iron planets to carbon planets to water planets.
