EUV studies have contributed substantially to our understanding of the physical and chemical properties the Sun, planets, and their satellites. Although the spectroscopic data set is limited to Venera 11/12, Voyager 1/2, Astro 1/2, EUVE, Galileo, and a handful of sounding rocket experiments, these data have provided important insights regarding the atmospheres and surfaces of several planets and satellites to the point where rudimentary comparative planetology can be conducted. In this paper we highlight some of these results.
