The compositions of the numerous bodies in the Solar System are determined from remote sensing observations, most often spectroscopic, and in some cases direct sampling. Laboratory studies of materials and processes are an essential component of the analysis and interpretation of all compositional data. Planetary atmospheres are composed of gases and aerosols, while the surfaces of the terrestrial planets, asteroids, comets, and planetary satellites are composed of minerals, ices, and organic solids. The principal spectroscopic characteristics of each of these materials are reviewed here. The tables present a synopsis of our current knowledge of the compositions of the principal bodies in the Solar System.
