Example of data from transits of the TRAPPIST-1 system, multiple planets are all different sizes with different orbital periods so there are lots of dips in light that have to be disentangled to figure out what is coming from what planet

    Things can get complicated when there are multiple planets in the system that all have different sizes and orbital periods, and sometimes you can even have multiple planets transiting at once!

    But telescopes like TESS (and the now decommissioned Kepler) are great because they can stare at a star long enough for us to figure out which signal is coming from which planet
