对太阳系外行星大气层的详细描述是区分其外层构成的最好希望，也是理解初始成分、化学、动力学和循环以及不平衡过程之间相互作用的唯一希望。近年来，一些领域取得了迅速进展，而另一些领域的发展则较为缓慢和/或受到激烈的争议。这篇文章给出了一个观察者的观点，在下一代观测设施取得相当大的进展之前，对太阳系外行星大气层的当前理解。讨论了过境和直接成像行星的大气过程，包括分子和原子丰度，云的性质，热结构和行星能量收支。在未来，我们可以期待一个持续和加速的新发现流，这将在未来许多年内推动正在进行的系外行星革命。
Detailed characterization of an extrasolar planet’s atmosphere provides the best hope for distinguishing the makeup of its outer layers, and the only hope for understanding the interplay between initial composition, chemistry, dynamics and circulation, and disequilibrium processes. In recent years, some areas have seen rapid progress, while developments in others have come more slowly and/or have been hotly contested. This article gives an observer’s perspective on the current understanding of extrasolar planet atmospheres prior to the considerable advances expected from the next generation of observing facilities. Atmospheric processes of both transiting and directly imaged planets are discussed, including molecular and atomic abundances, cloud properties, thermal structure, and planetary energy budgets. In the future we can expect a continuing and accelerating stream of new discoveries, which will fuel the ongoing exoplanet revolution for many years to come.
