An exoplanet atmosphere refers to the layer of gases surrounding a planet outside our solar system, which can provide crucial clues about the planet's composition, temperature, and potential habitability. By studying exoplanet atmospheres, scientists can gain insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems, and better understand the conditions necessary for life to exist beyond Earth, making this field of research a key area of interest for astronomers and astrobiologists.
