Space physics permeates studies of the planets - from the magnetic field generated in a planetary core, through the charged particle bombardment of surfaces, the heating, excitation and ionization of an atmosphere or corona, to the acceleration of ions and electrons trapped in a planet's magnetosphere. This presentation provides an introductory overview of the space environment of planetary objects - from giant planets to tiny comets. The talk highlights three cases that illustrate the range of issues and applications of planetary space physics. (1) How has the solar wind interaction with Mars' strong, patchy remnant magnetization affected the loss of water? (2) How does the activity of volcanoes on Io trigger dynamics of the vast magnetosphere of Jupiter? (3) How could measurements of particles and fields by the Galileo spacecraft as it flew past Ganymede and Europa tell us that former has a liquid iron core and the latter a layer of liquid water?
