The Internal Structure of the Moon and the Terrestrial Planets

Abstract

The known internal structure of the Earth is the logical starting point for discussions of the terrestrial planets and the Moon. Until we have direct data, the most reasonable assumption regarding these bodies is that they are similar in composition to the Earth.
