The reason that most extrasolar planets are found close to their parent stars is that the amount and frequency of the star's motion are both higher in these planets.

Why are most extrasolar planets found close to their parent stars?

Current detection methods are only capable of detecting planets which are close to their parent star. This may not be a trend, only statistically biased.


Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar extrasolar planets with telescopes?

Planets are considerably smaller than their parent stars, also they emit no light and are very close to the star. With all this combined, separating between the two with a telescope is very difficult.

Which planet do most known extrasolar planets least?

Mars The inner planets such as Mars, Earth or Mercury. these are too small to identify in other systems and too close to the star.


What planet do most known extrasolar planets least resemble?

We tend to see the large planets farthest away from their stars. So it is unlikely we will find any small planets close to their star similar to Mercury.

Why are many of the newly detected extrasolar planets called hot Jupiters?

Their masses are similar to Jupiter but they are very close to the central star and therefore hot.


Why are many of the detected extrasolar planets called hot-Jupiters?

Their masses are similar to Jupiter but they are very close to the central star therefore very hot.

Most known extrasolar planets are more massive than Jupiter because?

Current detection methods are more sensitive to larger planets
