Respuesta :

I think it would be mars because of the mass property

Radius of the planet has the greatest influence on the width of the light curve of a transiting planet.

What is radius?

"Radius is a straight line from the centre to the circumference of a circle or sphere."

What is planet?

"Planets are the largest objects in the solar system after the Sun."

What is light curve?

"A light curve is a graph of light intensity of a celestial object or region, as a function of time."

"A transit occurs when a planet passes between a star and its observer."

According to Kepler, size of the planet is proportional to how much light is blocked . Hence , more deeper the transits are , more the size of the planet will be. This implies radius has the greatest influence on the width of the light curve of a transiting planet.
