The diverse planetary environments in the solar system react in
somewhat different ways to the encompassing influence of the Sun.
These different interactions define the electrostatic phenomena
that take place on and near planetary surfaces. The desire to
understand the electrostatic environments of planetary surfaces
goes beyond scientific inquiry. These environments have enormous
implications for both human and robotic exploration of the solar
system. This book describes in some detail what is known about the
electrostatic environment of the solar system from early and
current experiments on Earth as well as what is being learned from
the instrumentation on the space exploration missions (NASA,
European Space Agency, and the Japanese Space Agency) of the last
few decades. It begins with a brief review of the basic principles
of electrostatics.
Continuing to take readers on a uniquely accessible journey through
physics, Superstrings and Other Things: A Guide to Physics, Third
Edition, explains the basic concepts of motion, energy, and
gravity, right up to the latest theories about the structure of
matter, the origin and structure of the universe, and the beginning
of time. Fully updated throughout, this book explores major
historical discoveries and the scientists behind them. In addition,
this comprehensive text details the breathtaking frontiers of
physics being explored today. Offering nonscience students access
to the highest peaks of physics, Dr. Calle translates concepts so
they can be appreciated by those with willing curiosity and
imagination. Features Provides up-to-date coverage of modern
physics, Offers nonscience students and laymen access to the
highest peaks of physics, Showcases modern applications of physics
in our everyday world.
