T he Nine Planets is a collection of information about our Solar System intended for a general audience with little technical background. ... T his document consists of about 90 WWW "pages", one page for each major body in the Solar System. ... if the object has satellites then its page has a table of data on them and links to their pages, . ... To visit the next body in an ordered traversal of the solar system choose the link immediately to the right of the name of the current page. ...

... The UK has a very vibrant solar system science community highly regarded internationally. ... The knowledge gained from such research has significant application to other STFC science areas, and indeed the science of other research councils. ... We therefore seek support to provide the 2012 Introductory Solar System Plasmas School, which will provide valuable training for the next generation of solar system scientists. ...
