Biome

A biome is geographically contiguous area on the surfaces of celestial bodies. They yield different experimental data (and flavor text). Currently^[outdated], only Kerbin and Mün have biomes. Taking data at different altitudes (including 'on the ground', i.e. surface samples) over different biomes reveals different Science!

Kerbin Biomes

• Grasslands
• Ice caps (currently unknown whether north and south yield different data)
• Tundra
• Mountain
• Badlands
• Desert
• Water (oceans)
• Highlands
•  ?Shores
•  ?Rivers (more research needed)

Mün Biomes

• Highlands
• Midlands
• Polar Lowlands
• Poles
• Farside Crater
• East Farside Crater
• Northwest Crater
• Northern Basin
