Solar systems research focuses on the study of various aspects of the formation, evolution, and composition of solar systems, including our own solar system. Researchers in this field investigate the properties of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies within a solar system, as well as the interactions between these bodies and their parent star. Key areas of study within solar systems research include planetary geology, atmospheres, magnetospheres, and surface features, as well as the search for exoplanets and understanding the conditions that may support life within a solar system. This research is often interdisciplinary, drawing on fields such as astronomy, astrophysics, geology, planetary science, and astrobiology. Understanding the dynamics and processes at work within solar systems can provide valuable insights into the origins and potential habitability of other planetary systems in the universe.
