Q: How to land on a planet?
A: Select a planet with a left-click and press [Ctrl]-[G].


The manual says that Shift-G lands on the planet - Ctrl-G goes to the center of it.

LOD 2.

You should have posted this in the FAQ thread.

It stands for Level Of Detail, so it should be pretty obvious.

Nope, it's just straight to the point.

Sorry, I wasn't born knowing what LOD stands for.

EDIT: Bear in mind that LOD 1 and 2 are no way practical, as they take so long to load, so it's best sticking to LOD -1 or -2 when cruising around, until you want to get a pretty screenshot.

Very true. It all depends on the specs of your PC. For example, I use LOD 0, but with my older card I used LOD -2, and I think SpaceEngineer does too. Like anonymousgamer said, under certain circumstances it makes sense to raise it, it just depends on what you're doing.
