Which of the following will allow you to learn something about a transiting planet's atmospheric composition? Which of the following will allow you to learn something about a transiting planet's atmospheric composition? Compare spectra obtained before and during an eclipse. Use the Doppler method to study the planet throughout a cycle from one transit to the next. Calculate the planet's size, and then use size to infer what its atmospheric composition must be. Look for slight variations in the time between transits.

Compare spectra obtained before and during an eclipse

Explanation:

The passage of a planet between the star and the earth id called as a transit. The compassion between the spectral variation obtained from the light emitted by the planet can be used to find the presence of the exoplanet. The transiting planet has an atmosphere as some of the light passes from the sun and reaches the earth from the atmosphere of the planet. The brightness goes on decreasing as the planet passes out in an eclipse phase.
