This textbook provides a physics-based tour of introductory planetary science concepts for undergraduate students majoring in astronomy or planetary science. It shows how principles and equations learned in introductory physics classes can be applied to study many aspects of planets, including dynamics, surfaces, interiors, and atmospheres. It also includes chapters on the discovery and characterization of extrasolar planets, and the physics of planet formation.

Lewis, Kevin: - Kevin Lewis is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, where he teaches courses in remote sensing and the geology of the Earth and other planets. His research focuses on the geological evolution of the terrestrial planets, and in particular the climate history of Mars. He has been a science team member on several planetary missions, including the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Curiosity Mars rover, and the InSIght lander.

Salyk, Colette: - Colette Salyk is currently an astronomy professor at Vassar College, where she teaches courses in planetary science, observational astronomy, and introductory physics. Her research focuses on the chemistry of planet formation, and the role it plays in producing planetary diversity. She has performed observations of planet formation using space-based telescopes and telescopes around the world.
