"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.

8 Planets in the Solar System
What are the similarities between exoplanets and the planets in your solar system?
In both systems, the Moon goes around the Earth.
What are the different kinds of solar system?
"solar system" is the term used to describe planets orbiting a star. We know that planets also orbit binary and tertiary star systems, these would be different kinds of solar systems.
The planets were originally giant comets captured by the sun?
Our current theory of the formation of our solar system is that the planets formed more or less in their present orbits. We do not believe that the planets (with the exception of Pluto) were "captured" by the Sun's gravity.
What are the different parts of the solar system?
A star, planets, satellites of the planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, dust particles and also vacuum.
What is earths position in the solar system according to its size?
Of the eight planets in our solar system, Earths is the fifth largest or the fourth smallest.
What is the system consisting of the earths sun and the eight planets orbiting it called?
The Solar System
What is astro geography?
The study of solar system like star ,moon planets, galaxies and sun is called Astor geography
How can studying earth help scientists understand other planets?
Studying Earth can help scientists understand other planets by providing a baseline for comparison. By examining Earth's geology, atmosphere, and ecosystems, scientists can develop models and theories that can be applied to other planets. Additionally, studying Earth's history and processes can shed light on the potential conditions and characteristics of other planets in our solar system and beyond.
Planet with double the earths gravitational pull?
In our solar system, the planets Uranus and Neptune have about twice the gravity of Earth.
Do other planets have an atmosphere like earths?
Not in our solar system. Nor have any been found elsewhere to date.
What is the mean size of the planets in your solar syster?
The mean size(volume) of all eight planets in the solar system is around 2.96 * 10^23 m^3 which equals about 273 earths.
What can you learn from studying space?
i can learn many things such as the astronauts the and the astronomy and many things else
How big is the biggest planet?
Jupiter has the largest diameter of all the planets in our solar system, 142,985km at the equator (11.2 time that of earths), though its volume is greater than all of the other planets combine.
What is the size range among the planets?
Mercury is around 4,880km in diameter, the smallest planet, while Jupiter has the largest diameter of all the planets in our solar system, 142,985km at the equator (11.2 times that of earths).
Why do you compare outer planets to inner planets?
Outer planets and inner planets are compared because they have distinct differences in size, composition, and characteristics. Inner planets are smaller, rocky, and denser, while outer planets are larger, gaseous, and have thick atmospheres. Studying these differences helps scientists understand how planets form and evolve in our solar system.
Is the endocrine system considered anatomy or physiology?
The endocrine system is an organ system. When studying the parts of the endocrine system and their structure, you are studying anatomy. When studying how the endocrine system works, you are studying physiology.
