Planetology - The comparative study of the properties of planets
Plasma - A fully or partially ionized gas
Plasma Tail - A narrow, ionized comet tail pointing directly away from the Sun ...
PLANETOLOGY
Planetology is a branch of astronomy that studies planets.

In planetology, a light curve can be used to estimate the rotation period of a minor planet or moon. From the Earth, there is often no way to resolve a small object in our Solar System, even in the most powerful telescope.
In planetology, the heat released by the infall of matter during the formation of a planetary body.
Heliocentric Universe
The Sun is at the center of the universe and everything revolves around that. Was first proposed by Copernicus.
or planetology, study of planets and planetary systems as a whole. Planetary science applies the theories and methods of traditional disciplines such as astronomy, geology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics to the study of the origin, ...
comparative planetology The systematic study of the similarities and differences among the planets, with the goal of obtaining deeper insight into how the solar system formed and has evolved in time.
comparative planetology: The study of planets by comparing the characteristics of different examples.
comparison spectrum: A spectrum of known spectral lines used to identify unknown wavelengths in an object's spectrum.
Research into the solar system, known as planetology or the planetary sciences, covers a diverse section of the sciences, with areas of study ranging between microscopic grains and the gas giant planets.
My lessons will give only a brief overview of objects in our Solar System because "planetology" is a specialty of its own involving not only astronomy but also chemistry, geology and meteorology.

The AS&T Dictionary covers terminology in aviation and space engineering, and the natural space sciences including astronomy, astrophysics, and planetology.
In particular, cosmochemistry is also concerned with origin and the development of elements and their isotopes in the solar system and therefore cosmochemistry is also important in planetology and for the investigation of origin and development of ...

The Hawai'i Space Grant College, the Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, and the University of Hawai'i have a nice hands-on learning activity in which students how and why magma moves inside volcanoes.
Scientists use the Earth to study all the other planets. Since no human has ever visited another planet, we have to use what we know about the Earth, and try to guess what the other planets must be like. This is called Comparative Planetology.

The overall data collected by SMART-1 will provide new inputs for studies of the evolution of the moon, its chemical composition and its geophysical processes, and also for comparative planetology in general.
physicists have extended their studies of plasma processes to the vicinities of comets and other planetary systems. In magnetospheric physics, as in most branches of planetary science, the Earth remains the touchstone for comparative planetology.
