The atmospheric circulation on exoplanets refers to the large-scale movement of air masses on planets orbiting stars other than our Sun (exoplanets). This...

temperatures for exoplanets (and brown dwarfs) leads to a similar diversity of theorized atmospheric conditions. However, exoplanet detection technology...

The Hadley cell, also known as the Hadley circulation, is a global-scale tropical atmospheric circulation that features air rising near the equator, flowing...

the behaviour of phosphorus in the atmosphere of brown dwarfs to giant exoplanets is not well understood. The atmospheric circulation of planets that rotate...

the atmosphere of K2-18b was reported to contain dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a chemical that could serve as a biosignature on exoplanets, in quantities 20...

mostly in the form of aquifers. For exoplanets, current technology cannot directly observe liquid surface water, so atmospheric water vapor may be used...

the first possible evidence of an exoplanet had been noted in 1917. As of 5 June 2025, there are 5,917 confirmed exoplanets in 4,413 planetary systems...
