DESCRIPTION:We now know that exoplanets abound in the Galaxy\, with most s
 tars hosting at least one planet. These recently discovered worlds are muc
 h more diverse than the planets in the Solar System\, and raise many quest
 ions about their formation\, evolution\, and habitability. To address thes
 e questions\, we turn to atmosphere characterization\, which provides a we
 alth of additional information about the planets. I will discuss the state
  of the art in atmosphere studies\, focusing on recent high-precision\, sp
 ace-based observations of planets ranging in size from Jupiter to Earth. T
 hese studies have already revealed planetary atmospheric chemistry\, clima
 te\, and cloud coverage in unprecedented detail\, and they are poised for 
 a revolutionary advance thanks to a spate of new ground-based and space-ba
 sed observatories.\n\n\n
