PLANETARY MAGNETIC FIELD AND GRAVITY IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Gravity plays a major role in the planetary formation and the development of the solar system. Gravity attraction is the essence of a power that holds and governs the universe; it makes the planets in the solar system revolve around the sun and the moons around their planets. Magnetic fields are also an important phenomenon in the solar system and beyond. Their causes are complex and have a variety of effects on their surroundings; they have become a critical tool for the exploration of solar system bodies. However, the study of the mechanisms of planets formation in the solar system is a difficult problem made more so by the inability to construct planetary-scale models for laboratory study. However, understanding the nature of the matter comprising the Solar System is crucial for understanding the mechanism that generates planetary magnetic fields and planetary gravity. In this study, a brief history about the development of planetary gravity is presented. Some data about the physical properties of planets in the solar system are presented and discussed. However, much work is still needed before the planetary gravity and planetary magnetic field processes are fully understood and full advantage be taken of the implications of both phenomena  observations.
