Extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, are planets that orbit stars outside our solar system. These distant worlds vary widely in size, composition, and temperature, ranging from gas giants larger than Jupiter to rocky Earth-like planets. Thousands have been discovered using methods like the transit technique and radial velocity measurements. The study of exoplanets is a rapidly growing field, offering insights into planetary formation and the potential for life beyond Earth. Some exoplanets even lie in the “habitable zone” of their stars, where conditions might support liquid water and possibly life.
