Because smaller objects, especially those that are very far away, are harder to see. Even with powerful telescopes, it can be difficult to see small objects, and even more difficult to know where to look.

Answer:

Science can find objects orbiting the sun from the size of Jupiter and Saturn (very large) to objects a few meters across (very small). This ability includes objects orbiting distant stars even though the lower end of visibility is increased to earth sized planets.

Why it good for scientists to be skeptical?

When scientists are skeptical, the are more likely to find new thing. When scientists are not skeptical, they are less open to opportunities. For example, if scientists were not skeptical of the idea the Earth was flat, then they would have continued many many more years without knowing the true shape of the world. Also, without scientists skepticism, they would not have found out that the planets rotated around the sun, not that everything rotates around Earth.


When did scientists find out the shape of the rotation that the planets made around the sun?

Johannes Kepler, a German astronomer, discovered that planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits in the early 17th century. This was based on observations made by Tycho Brahe. Kepler's laws of planetary motion revolutionized our understanding of the solar system.


Is god real in a scientists mind?

There are scientists that believe in a god and there are scientists that don't. Surveys find that a large majority of scientists do not believe in a god and even fewer believe in a creation account of the world.


What kinds of tools do scientists use to find new planets?

Scientists use a variety of tools to find new planets, including ground-based telescopes, space telescopes such as Kepler and TESS, and techniques like the transit method and radial velocity method to detect exoplanets. Radio telescopes and gravitational microlensing are also used to discover planets outside our solar system.


How do scientist hope to find out if there is life on other planets?

Scientists hope to find life on other planets by looking for evidence of water, essential elements, and molecules associated with life. They use robotic missions, telescopes, and future human missions to explore and analyze the surface and atmosphere of planets and moons. Scientists also study extremophiles on Earth to understand how life can survive in extreme environments, which helps guide the search for life on other planets.


Did scientist find new planets?

Yes, scientists have discovered many new planets outside the solar system, known as exoplanets. Statistical models indicate there are hundreds of billions of such planets within the Milky Way.


Why most new planets discovered around other stars been very large?

If you were looking for animals but for some reason had to do it from several miles away, you'd notice a lot more elephants than mice, and for pretty much the same reason. Large planets are easier to detect than small ones.


Does life on other planets?

life on other planets. their is for sure no life on any of the planets in our solar system but their could always be more on other planets. our solar system consists of one star, our sun planets orbit around it. orbiting every star in our Galaxy, are planets and we do not have the technology to find out if life exists on any of them yet. recently on the news, scientists have found a planet like earth but they are yet to discover weather or not it holds life. if you believe i answered your question correctly, CALL ME 04 0820 0401


What is astronauts do?

Astronauts go to different planets etc and collect specimens and other things so that scientists can research and find out more about our solar system.


Foreign scientists with their inventions and pictures.?

There are many foreign scientists that have helped to influence the world around us. You can find pictures of these scientists with their inventions by doing an image search.


Are there Earth like planets?

Perhaps orbiting around other stars, but we have yet to find them.
