Transiting exoplanets are planets that orbit stars outside our solar system and pass in front of their host stars from our viewpoint. This transit causes a temporary dimming of the star's light, which can be measured by telescopes. By analyzing this light curve, scientists can determine the planet's size, orbit, and distance from the star. The transit method is one of the most effective ways to discover new exoplanets, contributing to our understanding of planetary systems. Notable missions like Kepler and TESS have successfully identified thousands of transiting exoplanets, expanding our knowledge of the universe and the potential for life beyond Earth.
