Why do astronomers find it difficult to to locate extrasolar planets with telescope?
light from the they orbit makes it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescope
Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopes-?
Light from the stars they orbit makes it difficult to see them.
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.
Where are ExtraSolar planets found?
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.
Why are extrasolar planets more massive than earth?
Most of the known extrasolar planets are more massive than Earth because massive planets are easier to detect. We have detected planets smaller than Earth.

Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopos?
extra solar planets are not bright compared to the stars they orbit
Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telephones?
Its simple! They use telescopes instead!

Will astronomers discover more dwarf planets?
Yes when technologgy improves
Are there any extrasolar planets?
Yes. So far nearly 2,000 extrasolar planets have been discovered.
Are there planets outside your Solar system?
Yes, there are over 200 more planets outside the solar system, these planets are called extrasolar planets. There are also more then 170 solar systems inside of the Milky Way, on average astronomers find around 25 new planets a year.
Why planets are called planets?
Because the ancient Greek astronomers were one of the first astronomers to discover the planets. As they looked at the planets over time they moved into different places. The planets seemed o orbit the Sun so the Greek astronomers called them planets, which meant :wanderers.
Is there other solar systems around the stars?
Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.
