argument passed in the map function

regarding the below:

document.querySelector('body').innerHTML = planets.map(planet => createPlanetHTML(planet)).join('')

i dont understand this part : "planet =>" can you please explain why this is added on to the rest... createPlanetHTML(planet), so i can translate.

The "map" function takes a callback as an argument, and this syntax defines an anonymous function with a parameter named "planet" using arrow function syntax.

For more details, see the MDN page on Arrow function expressions.
