Sunspot. Sunspots are temporary cooler areas on the Sun's surface caused by changes in its magnetic field.
Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!
Answer:
2. You must be able to precisely measure variations in the star's brightness with time.
5. As seen from Earth, the planet's orbit must be seen nearly edge–on (in the plane of our line-of-sight).
6. You must repeatedly obtain spectra of the star that the planet orbits.
Explanation:
The transit method is a very important and effective tool for discovering new exoplanets (the planets orbiting other stars out of the solar system). In this method the stars are observed for a long duration. When the exoplanet will cross in front of theses stars as seen from Earth, the brightness of the star will dip. To observe this dip following conditions must be met:
1. The orbit of the planet should be co-planar with the plane of our line of sight. Then only its transition can be observed.
2. The brightness of the star must be observed precisely as the period of transit can be less than a second as seen from Earth. Also the dip in brightness depends on the size of the planet. If the planet is not that big the intensity dip will be very less.
3. The spectrum of the star needs to be studied and observe during the transit and normally to find out the details about the planets.
4. Also, the orbital period should be less than the period of observation for the transit to occur at least once.
