Question: How do the orbits of many extrasolar planets differ from the orbits of the planets in our own solar system? [Note this is graded right-minus-wrong.] Need Assignment Help? Question options: Many extrasolar planets have very eccentric orbits -- much more eccentric than the relatively circular orbits in our solar system. Most extrasolar planets discovered so far orbit in huge orbits so that if they were in our solar system, they would be well beyond the orbit of Jupiter. Many extrasolar planets orbit very close to their stars -- some of them, closer than Mercury orbits the Sun. In systems with more than one extrasolar planet, the planets are orbiting in different directions around the central star, which is very different from our solar system, and indicates we need to modify our nebula theory.
