This completely rewritten new edition begins with an historical perspective of the place of the solar system in the universe. Evidence from meteorites is used to describe how the planets were formed and the giant planets are considered in the light of the discovery of new extrasolar giants. Other chapters discuss satellites, comets, centaurs, asteroids

The formation and evolution of the Solar System
European Review, 2002Astronomers have built the main components of a scenario for the formation of the Solar System. Small planetary bodies accreted others by collisions within a rotating protoplanetary disk that formed at the same time as the Sun. While terrestrial planets near the warming Sun could accumulate only solid metallic and silicate material, the giant planets ...

Chemical evolution of primitive solar system bodies
Advances in Space Research, 1989In this paper we summarize some of the most salient observations made recently on the organic molecules and other compounds of the biogenic elements present in the interstellar medium and in the primitive bodies of the solar system. They include the discovery of the first phosphorus molecular species in dense interstellar clouds, the presence of ...

Criteria for the emergence and evolution of life in the solar system
Origins of Life, 1982During the past years we have explored most of the bodies of the solar system by means of the Apollo, Venera, Viking, Voyager, and other space missions. We are now in a better position to be able to compare the conditions of other planets and satellites with those of the Earth in order to determine what is unique about our planet which permitted the ...

The Formation and Evolution of the Solar System
2018Abstract The formation and evolution of our solar system (and planetary systems around other stars) are among the most challenging and intriguing fields of modern science. As the product of a long history of cosmic matter evolution, this important branch of astrophysics is referred to as stellar-planetary cosmogony.

Evolution of density in solar system ICES
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 1984Pores present in ices in the solar system do not remain unchanged. In isothermal conditions they shrink, while in a thermal gradient they migrate towards the higher temperature and escape so that the ice densifies. This motion has been investigated for pure H2O- and CO2-ices in a very simple one-dimensional model assuming uniform thermal conductivity ...

The stability and evolution of the solar system
The Moon and the Planets, 1980The known history of the solar system is discussed, also the types of dynamical problems exhibited by members of the solar system and the solutions suggested for a number of such problems. The recent work of Walker, Emslie and Roy, on Empirical Stability Criteria in Many Body Problems is also mentioned.

Origin and Evolution of Outer Solar System Atmospheres
Science, 1989The atmospheres of bodies in the outer solar system are distinct in composition from those of the inner planets and provide a complementary set of clues to the origin of the solar system. This article reviews current understanding of the origin and evolution of these atmospheres on the basis of abundances of key molecular species.

The Dynamical Evolution of the Inner Solar System
2023The solar system that we live in today bears only a passing resemblance to the solar system that existed 4.5 billion years ago. As our young star shed the gas nebula from which it was born, a disk of dust and rocky bodies emerged in the space between the Sun and Jupiter.
