| | What is Astrogeology? |
 | | There is far less data available for the scientific study of other planets as there is for Earth, but that doesn't stop scientists from trying to make inferences about them. |
 | | The field astrogeology has specific names for the study of each body in the solar system: Heliology for the study of the Sun, hermeology for Mercury, cytherology for Venus, selenology for the Moon, areology for Mars, zenology for Jupiter, kronology for Saturn, uranology for Uranus, poseidology for Neptune and hedeology for Pluto. |
 | | Astrogeology also encompasses the study of comets and asteroids. |
