Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This volume identifies the similarities and differences in the processes of formation and evolution of all planets in the solar system. By comparing common processes and features of the planets, including Earth, we are better able to understand Earth as a planet, and the evolutionary processes that have led to its present state. As a result of these studies, we will acquire a better understanding of other planets, such as Venus and Mars. The results can then be iterated to achieve a common consensus. The prediction of future evolution is a definite ultimate goal. Also recommended as a reference source for graduate students in the planetary sciences who are interested in comparative studies of the planets.

Book News Annotation:

Sighting on an ultimate but still distant goal of predicting the future evolution of planets, explores the similarities and differences of the planets and satellites of the Solar System in such dimensions as surface geologies, atmospheres, oceans, interior structures, and ring systems. Among the 20 topics are carbon-dioxide cooling in terrestrial planet thermospheres, the chemical atmospheric composition of the giant planets, parallels and differences of Titan's atmosphere with primitive Earth's, cryovulcanism on the icy satellites, planetary dynamos, magnetospheres, the evolution of ringmoon systems, and the migration of bodies in the accumulation of planets. Accessible to graduate students in the planetary sciences. No index. Reprinted from Earth, Moon, and Planets vol. 67, nos. 1-3 (1995).
