NASA Exo-Planetary System

What is an Exoplanet ?

Planets that orbit around other stars outside our solar system are called Exoplanets. They are very hard to see
using telescope due to brightness of their parent stars. However, astronomer could measure gravitational tug
caused to the parent stars due to exoplant orbit to indirectly detect the presence of these mysterious space entity.

Yes, planets also have an influence on their parent stars. For example, Jupiter creates a measurable impact on
Sun's center position. After all if we find aliens, it is going to come from one of these exoplanets. So analysing data on
exoplants at kaggle should be fun.

I credit and appreciate NASA for giving us this data for free. I downloaded this data from Nasa website
https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/index.html

As of now, there are about 5000 Exo-planets discovered by different scientific groups around the world.
This datasets contains details on each of the exo-planets such as their:

• discovery method and facility
• scientific group that discoved this planet
• Orbital period
• Planet radius and Mass
• Planet Eccentricity
• Parent stars temperature, radius, mass, metallicity ratio, surface gravity etc.
