But the study of Venus is <i>already</i> venereology. Going for consistency with the words we already have, hermeophysics and areophysics are correct (and you should have selenophysics). I'm not convinced of 5-9, but I'm not sure what words are already being used for them. Sure, maybe it’s better if you’ve invented them and consistency is desirable.

Don't what what I was thinking with ‘jovo-', Jove being, of course, an alternative Roman name for Jupiter. It should be something more like zeuophysics. And William is quite right about Coelus being Roman, and ouranophysics being the appropriate one. I was thrown by the inconsistency in the names of the planets that one of the non-Earth planets has a Greek name. Thanks a load, Bode.

Coelo- is Latin, though, isn't it? Wouldn't Ouranophysics or something like that fit in better? No, I think aphroditophysics is better, using the Greek name as w/ geophysics (vs. terraphysics).
