Description
The potential discovery of Earth-like planets around other stars will
need, apart from a sophisticated technological development, the design
of techniques for identifying the most representative parameters of
their atmospheres and surfaces. The search for life will constitutes the
holy grail of this search. However, for many decades the observations
will provide data with low spatial and spectral resolution. In the
meantime, the Earth will be for us a sort of Rosetta stone to interpret
the exoplanet's spectra. Here we present a review of the main results of
simulations and observations looking at our planet with nil or low
resolution. In other words, we will study "The Earth seen as a
Exoplanet".
