How does the Kepler mission plan to detect Earthlike planets around other stars?
The Kepler mission used the transit method to detect Earthlike planets around other stars. It observed the slight dimming of a star's light when a planet passed in front of it, indicating the presence of an orbiting planet. By monitoring these periodic dips in brightness, Kepler could infer the presence of planets, including Earthlike ones, by analyzing the data over time.
What is an exo-planet?
A planet orbiting a star other than the Sun.An exoplanet is a planet orbiting any other star out there, except the Sun.
Is there any planet which has water or life?
The only planet known to have water and life is Earth. It is quite possible that other planets orbiting other suns do as well, but we currently cannot determine such details across interstellar distances.
At time the planet is farthest from the sun?
Yes, and at other times it is closer.When it is closest, the planet orbiting the Sun (or any other object, orbiting anything else) is said to be in periapsis; when it is furthest away, it is in apapsis or apoapsis.
A planet should not be considered a planet if it is only made of gas?
The definition of a planet has nothing to do with its composition. A planet is any spherical object orbiting the Sun that has cleared its orbit from other objects.
How do you know that extrasolar planets are orbiting other stars?
the planet makes a dim in the light given star
Is Jupiter the largest planet out there?
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but not the largest planet of all. Planets larger than Jupiter have been found orbiting other stars.
What is the planet bigger than Jupiter?
Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. However there have been 'super Jupiters' found orbiting other stars.
The sun planet and their moons and other bodies are orbiting the sun make up the?
They make up our solar system.
What other planets have there own planets?
As of now, the only planet known to have its own moon is Earth. Other planets in our solar system have moons but no planets of their own. In our solar system, moons primarily orbit around planets rather than planets orbiting around other planets.
How do planets stay in orbit around the moon?
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting
Is there new planet discovered in 2010?
Currently scientists are finding many new planets every year orbiting other stars.
