It's certainly an interesting read, especially if you like Astronomy and Geology, but unless you're planning on spending an entire lifetime on your world like J.R.R Tolkien did then a lot of it is details that probably wouldn't ever find their way into the pages of your book.
There are exceptions, of course, especially if your book is more geared towards SF or involves lots of different worlds that you need to show as being different.

Would that I could, but usually the worlds are secondary to the plot and characters. I do like details right, but usually I just throw in a few odds and ends and leave it at that...and nobody would be less surprised than I would if something I put up proved to be impossible.
