Currently most of the objects of mass between 10 9 kg to 10 12 kg (less than 1000 teragrams (Tg)) listed here are near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). The Aten asteroid 1994 WR12 has less mass than the Great Pyramid of Giza, 5.9 × 10 9 kg. For more about very small objects in the Solar System, see meteoroid, micrometeoroid, cosmic dust, and ...
A size comparison of Neptune and Earth. Neptune's mass of 1.0243 × 10 26 kg [7] is intermediate between Earth and the larger gas giants: it is 17 times that of Earth but just 1/19th that of Jupiter. [h] Its gravity at 1 bar is 11.15 m/s 2, 1.14 times the surface gravity of Earth, [70] and surpassed only by Jupiter. [71]
Titius–Bode law. The Titius–Bode law (sometimes termed simply Bode's law) is a formulaic prediction of spacing between planets in any given planetary system. The formula suggests that, extending outward, each planet should be approximately twice as far from the Sun as the one before. The hypothesis correctly anticipated the orbits of Ceres ...
The choice of solar mass, M ☉, as the basic unit for planetary mass comes directly from the calculations used to determine planetary mass.In the most precise case, that of the Earth itself, the mass is known in terms of solar masses to twelve significant figures: the same mass, in terms of kilograms or other Earth-based units, is only known to five significant figures, which is less than a ...
Directory. This template is to show size comparison of Jupiter, Neptune and the Earth alongside extrasolar planets that have their radial size confirmed. {{Planetary radius | radius = <!--simplified number of the radius (Jupiter equals 100px)--> }} Some planets might have a radius that would be hard to compare to Jupiter.
The presumed distance of the Oort cloud compared to the rest of the Solar System The Oort cloud is thought to occupy a vast space somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000 AU (0.03 and 0.08 ly) [ 11 ] from the Sun to as far out as 50,000 AU (0.79 ly) or even 100,000 to 200,000 AU (1.58 to 3.16 ly).
0.08 [ 6][ 9] Temperature. ~51 K mean (estimate) Apparent magnitude. 21.9 [ 9] Galatea / ɡæləˈtiːə /, also known as Neptune VI, is the fourth-closest inner moon of Neptune, and fifth-largest moon of Neptune. It is named after Galatea, one of the fifty Nereids of Greek legend, with whom Cyclops Polyphemus was vainly in love.
