Planetary geology is the scientific study of the origin, evolution, and composition of solid celestial bodies, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, focusing on their geological processes and surface features.
Planetary geologists study features such as impact craters, volcanoes, canyons, fault lines, polar ice caps, and evidence of ancient rivers or oceans, revealing a planet's geological history.
It helps us understand the formation and evolution of our solar system, the potential for past or present life beyond Earth, and provides comparative insights into Earth's own geological processes and history.
