Scientific paper

Our ideas about the origin and evolution of the solar system have advanced significantly as a result of the past 25 years of space exploration. The paper begins with an assessment of the problems of building the giant gaseous planets. The role of meteoritic, asteroidal and planetesimal impacts, and of the importance of random events is emphasised. Other topics include the reasons for the existence of the asteroid belt, and the small sizes of Mars and Mercury. A discussion is given of the Moon and Mars, the geology of Venus and the importance of asteroidal impacts is emphasised.
