Planets
This is an analysis of the planets and their moons.
Perhaps this information can provide clues for the creation and evolution of the solar system.
Planet details
Planets type of planet
position of planet, with 1 = closest to Sun
AU = orbit diameter, OP= orbit period days or yrs
RP= rotation period
size of planet, with rank 1 = largest, by earth radius, by earth mass
moons = quantity of moons at the planet
Moon details
first column is its number for the planet, with 01 = closest to planet, usually; some moons were numbered and named before more moons were found later
third column is size details relative to Earth, if available
Mercury terrestrial
pos 1 AU=0.39, op=88d
size r0.06e m0.38e R8 by diameter
moons = 0
3:2 spin-orbit resonance
largest eccentricity of all planets
