extrasolar planers are not bright compared to the stars they orbit
For approximately the same reason that it's difficult to spot a mosquito
circling a street light that is 5 miles away, with a telescope.
What else can I help you with?
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 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.

Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopes-?
Light from the stars they orbit makes it difficult to see them.
Where are ExtraSolar planets found?
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.

Are there any extrasolar planets?
Yes. So far nearly 2,000 extrasolar planets have been discovered.
What was surprising about the extrasolar planets that were discovered?
The surprising thing to me is how MANY extra-solar planets have been discovered. Considering the limitations of the Kepler Space Telescope's design, this indicates that there may be planets around a majority of the stars.
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.
