Drag words into the blanks.
Giant exoplanets, like the so-called 'hot Jupiters' that are similar in 1 to the solar system’s biggest 2 and orbit very close to their host stars, are excellent targets for 3 in their search for extrasolar worlds. The size and proximity of these planets is easy to 4 as they create a large decrease in brightness when passing in front of their parent stars.
