1. Four ways scientists can detect planets are radial velocity, astrometry, transit method, and optical detection.
2. Optical detection makes the most sense because, planets don't give off there own light and the light waves dont line up with the rest of them.
3. The Goldilocks Zone is a area in space in which a planet is the right distance from its home star. The surface is not to hot nor to cold.
4. It is not gonna be much bigger than earth, it would be very different than what im used to. Also, it has an longer orbit period than planet Earth. To me, it would not be intelligent because it has to much that is with it.
5. No, i do not believe in Aliens. Those things are to much for my ears. From what i know they cant do anything to help me in life, so i see no point in believing in them. No one really talks of them unless there watching a movie.
