This is a series of articles on the planets of the Solar System, originally written for my blog at Manchester Science Examiner. Anyone with an interest in science can recite the planets in their order from the Sun, and most could probably give a general description of each of them. But I think it's easy to dismiss them as simple, dull balls of rock or gas. In fact, each is a world, as rich in intriguing geological features as Earth. It's just that we are only now beginning to discover them.
