Astrogeology
Definition of Astrogeology as it relates to Science, Astronomy, Cosmochemistry
Astrogeology is the study of the geological features of celestial bodies, such as planets and moons, combining principles from both astronomy and geology. It delves into the composition, structure, processes, and history of these extraterrestrial formations, contributing to our understanding of the solar system's evolution and potentially habitable environments. In this hierarchy, Astrogeology falls under Cosmochemistry, which investigates the chemical composition of the universe, further expanding on the broader fields of Astronomy and Science.
