After a couple of hours of exploring a planet, I came across a cave and decided to go spelunking. A little while later, I had realized I had lost my way and spent a good hour trying to find an exit.
If I decide to wander through another cave, is there a way I can tell where an exit is located so that I don't spend another hour looking for the exit?

I fell into the same trap and literally gave up. The easiest way to get out is to simply reload your save. The Waypoints and your ship are save points. If you choose one of them from the pause menu you will be transported out of the cave (and back in time). I don't go in caves anymore.
You might also be able to grenade your way out but I have had mixed results with what terrain actually blows up and how many grenades you would need because you have no way of knowing how deep you are.
