Planetary science is the interdisciplinary study of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other bodies in our solar system and beyond. It explores their composition, formation, atmospheres, geology, and potential for life—linking astronomy, geology, physics, and chemistry to understand planetary processes. Researchers use spacecraft missions, telescopes, and laboratory simulations to study worlds like Mars, Venus, and the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn, uncovering clues about Earth’s origins and the dynamics of planetary systems. From analyzing meteorites to exploring exoplanets, planetary science seeks to answer fundamental questions about the diversity, evolution, and habitability of worlds across the universe.
