Planetaristik
Planetaristik is a field of study focused on planets, their origins, evolution, internal structure, surfaces, atmospheres, and magnetospheres, including both planets in the solar system and exoplanets beyond it. The aim is to understand planetary diversity, the processes that shape worlds, and their potential to support life.
Its core topics include planet formation theories (accretion and disk evolution), planetary interiors and geophysics, atmospheric
Methods combine remote sensing, spectroscopy, in situ measurements from spacecraft, laboratory experiments, and theoretical modeling with
Historically, the field emerged from early telescopic observations of planets in the solar system and expanded
