Abstract

The aim of the studies is analyze simple models of the interiors of planets. First we characterize planets by composition. We assumed planets as non-rotating objects and we have neglected their magnetic field. We have then studied the internal structure of terrestrial and gas giant planets, modeling materials in the interiors, and we have found their equations of state. Further studies should bring to major comprehension of rock and ice planets, such as Neptune or Pluto, and Ocean planets.
