Description
Planets and Moons covers topics relating to the physics of the major planetary bodies in the solar system, starting with an introductory
description of the solar system and collection of pertinent data, continuing with a discussion of the early history of the planets, and
finishing with articles about planet dynamics, thermal evolution of planets and satellites, and descriptions of their magnetic fields
and the processes that generate them. In addition to providing a review on the solid planets and the satellites, this volume addresses
the interactions of solid surfaces and atmospheres as well as the roles of water and ice in shaping the surfaces of planetary
bodies.
