Planetology (Solar System)

Our solar system is a wide and wonderful place, full of a wide variety of planets, moons, and other celestial bodies, with countless important earth science processes that take place on them. This handout will teach you the basic geophysics of every body in the solar system!

Basic Astrophysics

The frequency at which astrophysics shows up on the USESO exam is readily increasing, and it is a challenging topic requiring a handful of physics background. However, for Earth Science-based purposes, this is typically limited to processes happening within the solar system. This handout will cover the very basics of astrophysics that can be used to help explain many Earth Science phenomena.  

Stellar Physics

Under development, will be released soon!
