Which planet do most known extrasolar planets most resemble
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/15
Jupiter Neptune
The planet that most extrasolar planets resembles Jupiter.
Jupiter(apex) Most of the confirmed Exoplanets are larger gaseous planets with large masses. These are easier to detect and confirm due to their size. They most resemble Jupiter, although many are thought to be much larger than our largest planet.

Forgetting to remove the telescope lens cap is not usually the
problem.
The answer to this multiple choice question is "red shift" which
is actually a useful phenomenon in viewing and analyzing the light
from very distant stars. Light is shifted in wavelength by the
movement of stars toward or more typically AWAY from the observer,
or by moving through strong gravitational fields.

Planets are considerably smaller than their parent stars, also

combined, separating between the two with a telescope is very
difficult.
