Question

In what ways do observed extrasolar planetary systems differ from our own solar system?

Answer 1

Answer:

Extrasolar solar system differ from our solar system in many ways such as of mass, size and shape of the planet, as well as temperature or amount of heat received in each planet.

Explanation:

An extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System, while the Solar System orbit around the sun  as a result of the gravitational pull of the sun.

Thus, we can say that the major difference between extrasolar planetary systems and solar system is that in solar system, planets orbit around the Sun, while in extrasolar planetary systems, planets orbit around other stars.

All of the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun. Planets that orbit around other stars are called exoplanets or extrasolar.

Extrasolar solar system differ from our solar system in many ways such as of mass, size and shape of the planet. They also differ in terms of temperature, because the temperature in each planet in solar system depends on its distance from the sun while that of the extrasolar depends on the activities of the star.
