What does AST mean

ast means to know about the planets

How do waves change as they approach the shore

As waves approach the shore, interaction with the sea floor slows the waves down and the crests of the waves bunch up. They increase in height as the energy in each wave compresses into a shorter horizontal distance, but the period of the wave does not change. Eventually, the waves break.

Which planet do most known extrasolar planets most resemble

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.
