Planetary Science is the study of planets, moons, and other celestial bodies in our solar system and beyond. It encompasses a variety of disciplines, including astronomy, geology, atmospheric science, and meteorology, to understand the formation, evolution, and current states of these objects. Planetary scientists investigate the physical and chemical properties of celestial bodies, their atmospheres, surface processes, and potential for habitability. This field also includes the analysis of data collected from spacecraft missions, telescopes, and laboratory simulations to gain insights into phenomena such as planetary motions, geological activity, and climate systems. Ultimately, planetary science aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of both our own planet and other worlds in the universe.
