light from the they orbit makes it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescope
Planets are considerably smaller than their parent stars, also they emit no light and are very close to the star. With all this combined, separating between the two with a telescope is very difficult.
Astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopes because they are much dimmer than stars and are often located very close to their host star, making them harder to distinguish. Additionally, the glare from the host star can overshadow the light coming from the planet, further complicating the detection process.
