Transits

In general knowledge, "transits" refer to the passage of celestial bodies, like planets or moons, across the face of another body, such as the Sun or a star. This phenomenon can be observed from Earth and is important in fields like astronomy and astrophysics. Transits help scientists gather data about the size, atmosphere, and orbit of distant planets or stars. For example, when a planet passes in front of a star, it can cause a slight dimming of the star's light, which can be measured and analyzed to learn more about that planet and its environment.
