How do astronomers observe planets that are too far away to see?

Space Telescopes
Planets that are orbiting stars that are far away creating fluctuations in the light that we see coming from the star. Astronomers can observe those planets by measuring the fluctuations of that light.

∙ 13y agoSeveral methods exist, but planets around other solar systems are usually found by the gravitational effect they have on their stars. In other words, if the star "wobbles", that is an indication that there is a mass nearby that makes it wobble.

Scientists can then measure the change in the star's spectrum as it is pulled slightly towards and away from earth.

How far is Pluto from the other planets as it orbits the sun?
How far away is Pluto from all the pther planets?
How far away from the sun are the dwarf planets?

Why can't you see some planets at night?
because soem planets are to far away and our eyes cant see that far
Do planets far away from the sun have less gravity Yes or no?
No.
What are the planets that are far from the sun?
the planets away from the sun are called outer planets. They are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and if you consider it a planet Pluto.

How far away is the planet nester?
There is no planet astronomers here on Earth call "nester". So if there is one it is very far away (in space and time)
How far apart are the are the outer planets compared with the inner planets?
it is 5,578 miles away

Why do scientists know less about Pluto than about other planets?
Pluto is difficult to observe astronomically, because it is both very far away, and relatively small, so people can't get information.
What lab tool is used to observe objects that are far away?
heey there
Do planets far away from the sun have less gravity Yes or no?
No.
What do you expect to find in the other galaxies?
Maybe life on planets far far away!
How far away was Jupiter?
Very very very far away. Hence the fact planets are measured in millions of miles.
How many planets is Jupiter far away from sun?
4 planets. Mercury, Venus Earth and Mars
How can you tell how far away the sun is?
Astronomers use complex calculations to determine celestial bodies' distance.They've stated that the sun is 150 million kilometers far away from the Earth.
