Summary
Description |
English: Log-log plot (red-dots) of solar-system object diameters versus "distance from the sun". The diameter of natural satellites (moons) associated with these objects are plotted (as blue-triangles) below them. The plot only includes a few comets (magenta diagonals), which often have unknown diameters and orbits that are highly eccentric (and sometimes well out of the ecliptic). The plot uses standard planetary symbols, except that C refers to dwarf-planet Ceres while dwarf-planets Haumea, Makemake, Eris and trans-Neptunian object Sedna (far right) are only shown by red dots. Minor planets including the next smaller asteroids Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea are shown as grey dots instead. |
