NUMBERS ABOUT THE SOLAR SYSTEM



We propose now to compare the numerical value of the physical parameters of the solar system bodies.


Physical parameters 


Planets : - size, shape - mass - period of revolution and rotation  
Satellites of planets : - size, shape - mass - orbital parameters  
Some asteroids : - size, shape - mass - orbital parameters
Comets : - orbital parameters -  

Relationship between absolute magnitude and size of the asteroids



Sorting by size, mass, brightness, distance, ... 


The largest bodies of the solar system :
