Abstract

The typology of the different seismic events observed on the Earth, Moon, Mars and Sun is presented. Despite the origin of seismic events on the terrestrial bodies are expected to be similar, the missions to the Moon and Mars equipped by seismological apparatus, show significant differences in the space-time distribution of the seismicity, as well as the sources of the Moonquakes and Marsquakes. The Suh have different composition but Sunquakes are also observed. The review and comparison of the seismicity of the Earth and extraterrestrial objects are performed and similarities and differences outlined. The conclusion is that we have rather limited knowledge about the seismic processes on the other terrestrial objects, than to the Erath.
