Eksoplanetide

Eksoplanetide, also known as exoplanets, are planets that orbit stars outside our solar system. The first confirmed detection of an exoplanet was made in 1992, and since then, thousands have been discovered. These planets vary greatly in size, composition, and distance from their host stars. Exoplanets can be classified into several categories, including hot Jupiters, super-Earths, and mini-Neptunes. The study of exoplanets is a rapidly evolving field, with ongoing research focusing on their formation, composition, and potential habitability. Techniques such as the transit method and radial velocity method are commonly used to detect exoplanets. The discovery of exoplanets has expanded our understanding of planetary systems and the potential for life beyond Earth.
