This volume is meant to identify the similarities and differences in the processes of the formation and evolution of all planets in the solar system. By comparing common processes and features of the planets, including Earth, we are better able to understand Earth as a planet and the evolutionary processes that have led to its present state. As a result of these studies, we will acquire a better understanding of other planets, such as Venus and Mars and then iterate the results to achieve a common consensus. Ultimately, prediction of future evolution is a definite goal. It is also recommended as a reference source for graduate students in the planetary sciences who are interested in comparative studies of the planets.
