Is studying the planets of the earth's solar system a part of geography?

"Geo" is latin for "Earth," so "geography" is the study of the planet Earth; specifically, a map ("graph") of the Earth. The term isn't usually applied to other planets, although the terms "lunar geography" or "Martian geography" are sometimes used to apply to those specific objects. Sometimes the word "Selenography" (from the Greek goddess Selene, the goddess of the Moon) is used to apply to maps of the Moon.
We don't yet know enough about the maps of other celestial bodies to have a science about it.
