The book begins with a historical review of four major theories for the origin of the Solar System in particular, or of planets in general, which highlight the major problems that need to be solved by any plausible theory. In many theories, including that which form the major theme of this book, the formation of planets and stars is intimately linked, so four chapters are devoted to the processes that can be described as the birth, life and death of stars. Recent observations that have revealed the existence of planets around many Sun-like stars are described in detail, followed by a clear exposition of the Capture Theory for the origin of planets. Many aspects of this theory are illustrated with sophisticated computer modelling that convincingly demonstrates the plausibility of the theory. The Capture Theory is in complete accord with all observations, including the estimate it gives for the proportion of Sun-like stars with planets. It is the only theory that sits comfortably with all present observational and theoretical constraints. The general theory of planet formation does not explain the detailed structure of the Solar System. An early postulated collision of two major planets is shown to explain many disparate features of the Solar System — the nature of the terrestrial planets, surface features of the Moon and its relationship with Earth, asteroids, comets and dwarf planets, the relationship between Neptune, Triton and Pluto and the characteristics of meteorites, including the isotopic anomalies found in them. The postulate of a planetary collision is given support by a 2009 NASA observation of the residue of such an event around a distant young star.

Keywords:Planets: Solar SystemKey Features:There are no competing titlesThe structure of the book, with main chapters and appendices, should make it accessible and of interest to readers of different backgroundsThe theory it deals with is described in fine detail — a model of presentation inspired by On The Origin of SpeciesReviews:“The first quarter of the presentation is a masterful summary of the history of the speculation about the origin of the sun and planets, a description of the properties of stars and star clusters, and an introduction to the exciting and developing field of exoplanets, objects that orbit distant stars … The presentation is primarily qualitative, with the supporting physical principles usefully relegated to an extensive suite of appendixes … the level is suitable for the advanced undergraduate.”CHOICE “This book describes the history and the problem of planetary formation question in more complete and attractive detail. In an unusual but excellent feature, the basic physics needed at each stage is broken out into a long series of appendices, 39 in all.”Contemporary Physics

Earth is a planet, moving around the sun. But Earth is not the only planet in our solar system! It is one of eight planets, many moons, and other objects that orbit our sun. The planets have much in common, but they have many differences, too. In this Spanish-translated book, learn all about these exciting planets.

Solar System Planets and Exoplanets provides a current viewpoint of planetary systems. The solar system’s planets and exoplanets are addressed in an overview manner, and specific space probe data are used to provide a current state of knowledge of Venus and Mars. Recent Mars data and associated observations are addressed in several chapters. Of particular interest are data that suggest the possibility that life could have existed on the planet’s surface during its past when Mars’ atmosphere was wetter and denser. The search for life on Mars is one of the main objectives of space missions, and it is an ongoing theme of this book. Key to the existence of life is the evolution of the radiation output of the Sun that is discussed and projected into the future. Space probe data related to the Asteroid Belt is also presented. Technological advances in terms of operating aircraft on Mars and propulsion systems provide useful commentary regarding future innovations that will enhance upcoming space missions and the search for life.

It is surrounded by lots and lots of stars, planets, asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects. One neat place in the Milky Way Galaxy is where planet earth is found. Can you guess where we are? Did you guess: The solar system? Good job! The solar system has lots of fascinating things to discover. Let's learn about some of them and don't forget to share with others! First, let's define our solar system. What is it? If someone asked you that question, what would you say? ESA for kids explains it in a nice and simple way: "The Solar System is made up of the Sun and all of the smaller objects that move around it." Simple enough, right? It might sound that way, but it isn't! The solar system has eight planets. Let's start with the sun. It is the biggest part of our solar system and everything moves around this bright star.

Pluto is too big to be an asteroid and too small to be a planet, so scientists call it a dwarf planet. It’s so far away from the sun that it gets no warmth at all, so it’s covered in a thick layer of ice. Readers learn fun facts such as these as they explore the world of our solar system’s dwarf planets. Informative diagrams, full-color photographs, and accessible text help readers discover more about Pluto and the other dwarf planets in our solar system.
