An exoplanet is a planet located outside our solar system. These celestial bodies orbit stars other than the Sun. Scientists discover exoplanets using various methods, such as the transit method and radial velocity. They vary in size, composition, and distance from their stars. Some may even have conditions suitable for life. Research on exoplanets expands our understanding of the universe.
