Exoplanet Studies refers to the scientific field focused on the investigation and analysis of exoplanets, which are planets located outside our solar system. This area of research encompasses various aspects, including the detection, characterization, and understanding of the atmospheres, compositions, orbits, and potential habitability of these distant worlds. The study of exoplanets has become a significant area in astronomy, particularly since the first confirmed discovery of an exoplanet in the 1990s. Techniques employed in exoplanet studies include transit photometry, radial velocity measurements, and direct imaging, among others. The insights gained from these studies contribute to our knowledge of planetary systems, the formation and evolution of planets, and the potential for life beyond Earth.
