Explanation:

Planets orbiting other stars, known as exoplanets, are extremely far - away. Their distance makes it difficult for telescopes to directly view them as they are very faint compared to their host stars and are often lost in the star's glare. Also, their small size relative to the vast distances is a factor, but distance is the primary limiting factor for direct viewing.

Answer:

The planets are too far away.
