Re: other planets do not exist!
We do not see the planets (except a few important exceptions) but we know they are there because of their affect on stars. Read my post before my last post here to learn how we do that. Because we can't see the planets themselves, we can't view their surfaces. A few transit planets have had their atmospheres scanned through spectroscopic telescopes (all atoms have a trace signature in the light they interact with). All of the planets we can see are very cold gas giants and they are so far away that we can't resolve much except a few pixels of light.
