Merge with Extraterrestrial atmosphere

Latest comment: 4 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This article seems to cover the same ground as Extraterrestrial atmosphere but in less depth. Should these articles be merged? Fdfexoex (talk) 17:10, 5 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I suspect that WP:SIZE would be a significant issue. Both articles are already quite large, so I think they need to remain separate. Praemonitus (talk) 12:57, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sun or host star?

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I noticed the first paragraph starts out talking about astronomical objects, but then becomes focused on the Solar System. Should it be made more general, substituting "host star" or "parent star" for "Sun" and "stellar wind" for "solar wind"? Praemonitus (talk) 13:41, 17 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
