What is Planetary Geology? Exploring the Earth and Beyond

  • Thread starter Jergus Baca
  • Start date
In summary, planetary geology is the study of the physical processes and structures of planets and other celestial bodies in our solar system and beyond. This field of science combines elements of geology, astronomy, and physics to understand the formation, evolution, and composition of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. It involves using data and observations from spacecraft and telescopes to analyze the surfaces, interiors, and atmospheres of these objects, providing insights into the geological processes and histories of different worlds. This can also help us better understand the Earth and our place in the universe.
