Collisions and coalescence of particles in the dust cloud led to the formation of a solar system with eight planets and countless smaller bodies that has fascinated mankind since prehistoric times. Our knowledge of the solar system exploded in the recent era of space exploration, and its complete description deserves a library on its own. This chapter provides brief descriptions of the orbits and physical properties of the major planetary bodies. These exhibit natural phenomena originally studied on Earth, such as gravitational and magnetic fields, seismicity, and tidal motions. They can be understood with geophysical concepts and techniques introduced in later chapters"-- 0aGeophysics.94101 aFichtner, Andreas,  cBK00aQC806  00102lcc40708NFICaMAINbMAINcPASFLd2022-10-19ePHCl0oQC 806 L55 2021p0046104r2022-10-19 00:00:00t2yBK  00102lcc40708NFICaMAINbMAINcPASFLd2022-12-06ePHCl0oQC 806 .L55 2021p0046059r2022-12-06 00:00:00t2w2022-12-06yBK
