Abstract: |
A brief review of the composition of planetary atmospheres is given. By adopting a historical perspective,
and without pretending to exhaustiveness,
we attempt to show how the evolution of observational knowledge progressively gave access to insight
into the main physical processes ruling planetary atmospheres, and to illustrate the synergy between
observations from the ground and from space. |
