Exoplanet Diversity

Exoplanet Diversity refers to the wide variety of planets that exist outside our solar system (exoplanets), which differ significantly in their characteristics such as size, composition, atmosphere, orbital distance from their host stars, and other physical properties. This term emphasizes the range of exoplanets, including gas giants, rocky planets, super-Earths, and more, showcasing the complexities and variety in planetary formation and evolution across different star systems in the galaxy. Studying exoplanet diversity helps scientists understand the processes that lead to planetary formation and the potential for habitability in varying environments.
