Welcome to the captivating world of the planets! This comprehensive Guide takes you on an awe-inspiring journey through our solar system, unravelling the mysteries and wonders that await us beyond our home planet. From the birth of our solar system to the distant reaches of the Kuiper Belt, each chapter delves into a specific aspect of planetary science, revealing our celestial neighbours' incredible diversity and complexity. In Chapter 1, we explore the Nebular Hypothesis, a critical theory that sheds light on the formation of our solar system. We delve into the processes that gave rise to the planets and deeper into their evolution in Chapter 2, where we uncover how our cosmic neighbourhood took shape. The Late Heavy Bombardment, discussed in Chapter 3, takes us back in time to a period of intense impacts that shaped the surfaces of the planets. We then venture into the vast expanse of the interplanetary medium and unravel the secrets of the Solar Wind in Chapters 4 and 5, respectively. Chapter 6 takes us beyond the boundaries of our solar system to explore the Heliosphere, while Chapter 7 guides us to the radiant heart of our system-the Sun. In this chapter, we discover the wonders of the stellar corona, the captivating phenomena of coronal mass ejections, and the captivating allure of solar eclipses and Baileys Beads. Our exploration continues as we shift our gaze to the planets themselves. From Mercury to Neptune, each chapter dedicated to the planets delves into their unique characteristics, geodynamics, and captivating moons. We uncover the mysteries of our Moon's origin and its mesmerizing features in Chapters 24 to 27, and we meet remarkable observers who have contributed to our understanding of the lunar world in Chapters 28 and 29. The Guide then leads us to Mars, where the search for life and the captivating nature of its moons are unveiled in Chapters 30 to 33. We journey through the Asteroid Belt and encounter dwarf planets such as Ceres and Vesta in Chapters 33 to 35. The captivating realms of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and their enchanting moons, are unveiled in chapters 36 to 39, captivating us with their immense beauty and intriguing features. Finally, we explore the icy reaches of the Kuiper Belt, where the enigmatic world of Arrokoth and the once-planet Pluto reside. Chapters 50 and 51 guide us through these captivating realms, revealing the astonishing discoveries made by New Horizons.
