Planetary Climate

Planetary Climate is a subfield of planetary science that investigates the long-term statistical patterns and governing physical, chemical, and dynamical processes of atmospheric, surface, and radiative conditions on planets and other planetary bodies, in order to characterize and explain their past, present, and potential future environmental states.
