We present some results of our spectropolarimetric observations of Mars (1986), Jupiter (1986-1989), Uranus (1986), and Jupiters Galilean satellites (1986). 1. A global (or local) long-power dust storm occured on Mars after 20 August 1986. 2. The mean amount of methane above the cloud layer in the central part of the Jovian disk (13.5{''} in size) was 25 m-amagat in 1986, 35.3 m-amagat in 1988, and 28.2 m-amagat in 1989; the upper boundary of the EZ cloud layer was located about 0.7H_g higher than the upper boundary of the SEB and NEB cloud layers (H_g is the hight scale of the gas component in the atmosphere). 3. The amount of polarization of Uranus was no more than +0.2 percent even at a phase angle of 3(0) . 4. The amount of polarization of Ganymede and Europa was about 0.25±0.02 percent, and the amount of polarization of Callisto and Io was about 0.35±0.02 percent at a phase angle of 0.5(0) ; the planes of polarization and scattering made an angle of 126-138(0) . No variations in the polarization of Io were found in the course of its orbital motion (over 3 hours).
