Course Description

Overview

Embark on a comprehensive 2.5-hour video series exploring the solar system through the lens of comparative planetology. Delve into the fundamental differences between terrestrial and gas planets, examine basic orbital parameters, and study the physical characteristics of planets including their diameters, masses, densities, and compositions. Investigate planetary atmospheres, magnetic fields, surface temperatures, and albedo. Learn about orbital mechanics, including inclination, eccentricity, and periods. Explore trans-Neptunian objects, large moons, and the chemical composition of celestial bodies. Analyze atmospheres in depth and study asteroids and comets. Conclude with an examination of impact craters and the presence of water in our solar system.
