Well, the mom emperor penguin is the only one to leave. She goes to get food such as, Krill (shrimp), and fish. The chick is not left alone, it stays with the dad. Usually, the mom leaves before the chick is born and the dad stays with it until it hacthes.
Baby emperor penguins are called chicks.
chicks
Adult emperor penguins leave their chicks around 10 weeks after hatching, when the chicks are able to regulate their body temperature and are more independent. This typically occurs during the late spring or early summer months in Antarctica, when food is more abundant. The adults then go out to sea to feed, returning periodically to provide food for their growing chicks.
