It can’t. This is not a real image of a real planet. We’ve actually never seen an exoplanet with more than a few pixels of resolution

This one? Completely made up. That’s just an oil suspension texture mapped on to a sphere. The best we can typically do is a really good guess at what the average color of a planet’s atmosphere is. We can pretty much never determine what the ground looks like

The picture is created based on heat and radiation. Of course it’s not a pristine photo of a distant planet
