exoplanet catalog

An exoplanet catalog is a systematic list of planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets. Scientists discover these planets using telescopes and advanced techniques, then record details such as their size, orbit, and distance from their star. The catalog helps researchers study the diversity of planetary systems, understand how planets form, and identify potentially habitable worlds. It serves as a valuable resource for tracking new discoveries and advancing our knowledge of the universe beyond our solar system.
