What do astronomers think about the possibility of planets orbiting other stars and being detected?

Astronomers believe that planets orbiting other stars, known as exoplanets, are common in the universe. They have been detected using various methods such as the transit method and radial velocity method. The discovery of exoplanets has greatly expanded our understanding of planetary systems beyond our own.


How are planets detected around other stars?

Planets around other stars are typically detected through indirect methods, such as the transit method (observing a star's brightness dip as a planet passes in front of it) or the radial velocity method (observing the star's wobble caused by the planet's gravitational pull). Other techniques include gravitational microlensing and direct imaging using specialized telescopes.


What other star has planets orbiting around them?

We believe that most stars have planets. The first star PROVABLY detected to have a planet was Gamma Cephei.


What method has been used in the successful search for planets around stars other than the Sun?

Measurement of the wobble of the star, caused by the orbital motion of the planet, detected either by accurate positional measurement of the star or by spectral shift in the Star spectrum


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 are some purple planets from other solar systems?

We do not know. Although we have detected planets in other solar systems, we do not know what colors they are.


What planets around distant stars are called?

Planets around distant stars are called exoplanets. These planets orbit stars outside of our solar system and are detected through various methods, such as the transit method or radial velocity method.


What do all the planets orbit around?

All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.


Do other stars have revolving planets?

Yes, other stars have revolving planets just like our Sun does. Many exoplanets have been discovered around other stars through techniques like the transit method, radial velocity method, and direct imaging. These exoplanets can have a wide variety of sizes, compositions, and orbital characteristics.


Does the other planets go around the sun?

Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!


How many planets does Arcturus have around it?

Arcturus is a star located in the constellation of Boötes and is not known to have any planets orbiting around it. It is a red giant star that is relatively close to Earth in astronomical terms, at a distance of about 36.7 light-years. While exoplanets have been discovered around many other stars in our galaxy, none have been confirmed around Arcturus.


Why are the dwarf planets round?

because of the gravity of the other planets around them
