Relative masses of the Solar planets. Jupiter at 71% of the total and Saturn at 21% dominate the system. Relative masses of the solid bodies of the Solar System. Earth at 48% and Venus at 39% dominate. Bodies less massive than Pluto are not visible at this scale. Relative masses of the rounded moons of the Solar System.
SIMBAD. data. ARICNS. data. Proxima Centauri is a small, low-mass star located 4.2465 light-years (1.3020 pc) away from the Sun in the southern constellation of Centaurus. Its Latin name means the 'nearest [star] of Centaurus'. It was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes and is the nearest-known star to the Sun.
WOH G64 (For comparison) 1,540 [c] ± 77 [9] L/T eff: Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Possibly the largest known star. [9] [10] [14] [11] Theoretical limit of star size (Milky Way) ~ 1,500 [15] or ~1,800 [16] Lower value comes from the rough average radii of the three largest stars studied in the paper.
Part of a symbiotic binary star system containing a red giant and a white dwarf. As in 2019, with mass 67.54 ± 12.79MJ (0.0523-0.0767 M☉) is the lowest known mass hydrogen-burning star. Luhman 16 B and Luhman 16 A are the closest brown dwarf stars to Earth, and the third-nearest star system to the Solar System.
A few notable large stars with masses less than 60 M☉ are shown in the table below for the purpose of comparison, ending with the Sun, which is very close, but would otherwise be too small to be included in the list. At present, all the listed stars are naked-eye visible and relatively nearby. Star name. Location.
The next largest TNO moon is Orcus' moon Vanth at 442.5 ± 10.2 km and a poorly constrained (87 ± 8) × 10 18 kg, with an albedo of about 8%. Ceres, generally accepted as a dwarf planet, is added for comparison. Also added for comparison is Triton, which is thought to have been a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt before it was captured by Neptune.
List of nearest exoplanets. Fomalhaut b (Dagon), 25 light-years away, with its parent star Fomalhaut blacked out, as pictured by Hubble in 2012. [ 1] In 2020 this object was determined to be an expanding debris cloud from a collision of asteroids rather than a planet. [ 2] There are 7,026 known exoplanets, or planets outside the Solar System ...
The sizes are listed in units of Jupiter radii (71,492 km). All planets listed are larger than 1.7 times the size of the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter.Some planets that are smaller than 1.7 R J have been included for the sake of comparison.
