Abstract
A review of some of the basic techniques of millimeter-wave spectroscopy of objects in the solar system is presented. The physics of line formation in planetary atmospheres is discussed, and examples of recent results are presented. The study of gases in the comae of comets is another key area for millimeter-wave spectral line investigations, and techniques for measuring the composition and behavior of gas in the coma are reviewed.
