... planets that are big in size are the easiest to find because they block off more light during transit. Planets that are large in mass are likewise easiest to find because they make the parent star wobble more in velocity. Finally, planets that are closer to the star are easiest to find because they' ...

(A) is in orbit around the Sun (B) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape (C) has not cleared the neighbourhood aroun ...
