What else can I help you with?
Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopes-?
Light from the stars they orbit makes it difficult to see them.
Are there other visible planets that are not in our galaxy?
No. I don't believe any planets have been detected outside of our Galaxy. Within our Galaxy, planets are detected by inference not visual techniques. See link for lists of known extrasolar planets
What planet do most known extrasolar planet 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 can't you see some planets at night?
because soem planets are to far away and our eyes cant see that far
What are the names of 2 planets that are not in your solar system?
An extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is a planet beyond our Solar System, orbiting a star other than our Sun. As of June 2009[update], 353 exoplanets are listed in the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia . See http://exoplanet.eu/catalog-RV.php Most are unintelligible alphanumeric combination which are derivatives of the code assigned to the star in that "solar" system.
How do temperatures of an extrasolar planet vary during one year?
The seasonal variations of temperature on any planet depend on the characteristics of the planet's orbit, atmosphere, and axial tilt. Extrasolar planets are not all the same and appear to come in even greater variety than what we see in our solar system.
What planet do most known extrasolar planets least resemble?
Most known extrasolar planets least resemble Earth due to their extreme characteristics such as being extremely close to their parent star, having very short orbital periods, or being much larger than Jupiter. These differences make them fundamentally different from Earth in terms of habitability and physical properties.
How come Antarctica can see the planets so clearly?
Antarctica can see the planets so well as there is no smoke or gas polluting the air s you can see into space were as in other places in the world you cant see through the smoke and gas in the air!
Why cant you see objects if it does not fall directly on the retina?
because it your blind spot
Why cant you see planets or stars at day?
because the sun is so bright that it covers it up!! jk idk
Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate 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.
What is the name of the nearest solar system?
Normally the term "Solar System" refers only to our system of Sun, planets and other stellar "stuff". Outside of "our Solar System" we use the term "Extrasolar Systems" Our nearest extrasolar system is Alpha Centauri and it is the closest star system to the Solar System, being only 4.37 light years away from our Sun.
