The solar system provides us with a unique laboratory to study the evolution of multiple planets of different types coupled with the evolution of their host star. Early Earth, Venus, and Mars all once had a chance to develop habitable conditions, but currently only Earth is habitable. Gas giants underwent their own complicated evolution, which included the formation of their own satellite systems, interior and atmospheric evolution, and their influence on other bodies in the solar system through complicated orbital dynamics. Although many details of the evolution of the solar system are still shrouded in mystery, we have a unique opportunity to study the solar system using satellite and space-missions observations, as well as remote ground-based observations with a level of precision impossive to achieve for exoplanets. Current observations of solar system bodies can give us important insight into their states billions of years ago. In this session, we aim to provide a synergystic view of the evolution of the solar system, with talks addressing it from both theoretical and observational points of view being equally welcome. Contributions may focus on stellar evolution, magnetic fields, planetary interiors, atmospheres, applications to exoplanet systems, or any other aspect of solar system evolution.
