Solar System Research

Solar system research involves studying the planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and the Sun to understand their physical properties, origins, and interactions. Scientists use telescopes, spacecraft, and data analysis to explore planetary atmospheres, surface features, and gravitational effects. This research helps uncover the history of our cosmic neighborhood, assess potential threats from space objects, and inform future space exploration. It combines physics, astronomy, and planetary science to deepen our knowledge of how the solar system formed and evolves over time, providing insights into Earth's place in the universe.
