Incorrect. There is a giant amount of light being blocked by this planet. You incorrectly chose the medium planet which would have a light curve like this:
Correct! A giant sized planet blocks a giant amount of light from the star, making a giant sized dip. This star is bright, as shown by the background light curve at a high brightness. Notice how the parts of the light curve change as the planet partially blocks the star.
Correct! A medium sized planet blocks a medium amount of light from the star, making a medium sized dip. This star is dim, as shown by the background light curve at a low brightness. Sometimes, serveral planets orbit one star, like in our own Solar System. Scientists must observe the patterns in the light curves closely to match the orbiting planets to their dips.
