Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It’s a technique known as “transit spectroscopy, ‘’ when light from a star travels through the atmosphere of an orbiting planet and reaches our telescopes – in space or on the ground – and tells about where it’s been.
Detailed explanation-2: -Much of the information about the planets in the solar system has been determined by observation.
