Summary[edit]

Description
English: This simplified diagram of an exoplanet phase curve shows the change in total brightness of a star–planet system as the planet orbits the star. The system looks brighter when more of the lit side of the planet is facing the telescope (full phase), and dimmer when more of the dark side is facing the telescope (new phase).
