The video explores tsunami-like waves on Mars, Venus, and Saturn. Mars's ancient ocean may have been shaped by mega tsunamis, providing evidence of its past existence. Venus's atmosphere hosts massive waves that could explain its cloud superrotation. Saturn's rings feature a vertical wave caused by Titan's gravitational pull. These phenomena help us understand planetary evolution.
