List of solar system objects: By orbit—By mass—By radius—By name—By surface gravity

See also: Solar system

This is a list of solar system objects by radius, arranged in descending order of mean volumetric radius. This list is not exhaustive; it contains the Sun, the planets, several natural satellites, and a number of other notable objects. Image File history File links Please see the file description page for further information. ... The Solar System consists of the Sun and the other celestial objects gravitationally bound to it: the eight planets, their 165 known moons,[1] three currently identified dwarf planets (Ceres, Eris, and Pluto) and their four known moons, and billions of small bodies. ... Below is a list of solar system objects with diameter >500km: The Sun, a spectral class G2 star Mercury Venus Earth Moon Mars Jupiter Io Europa Ganymede Callisto complete list of Jupiters natural satellites Saturn Tethys Dione Rhea Titan Iapetus complete list of Saturns natural satellites Uranus Ariel... This is a list of solar system objects by mass, in decreasing order. ... This is a list of named solar system objects, including planets, moons, dwarf planets, and trans-Neptunian objects, ordered alphabetically. ... The following values were calculated using Newtons law of universal gravitation. ... Major features of the Solar System (not to scale; from left to right): Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, the asteroid belt, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and its Moon, and Mars. ... Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is an AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) protocol for applications such as network access or IP mobility. ... “Sol” redirects here. ... The eight planets and three dwarf planets of the Solar System. ... A natural satellite is an object that orbits a planet or other body larger than itself and which is not man-made. ...

The ordering is not the same as the order of a list of solar system objects by mass because some objects are denser than others. For instance Uranus is bigger than Neptune but less massive, and although Ganymede and Titan are larger than Mercury, they have less than half its mass. This is a list of solar system objects by mass, in decreasing order. ... Adjectives: Uranian Atmosphere Surface pressure: 120 kPa (at the cloud level) Composition: 83% Hydrogen 15% Helium 1. ... Note: This article contains special characters. ... This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ... Titan (, from Ancient Greek Τῑτάν) or Saturn VI is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest moon in the solar system,[4] after Jupiters moon Ganymede. ... This article is about the planet. ...

Several new trans-Neptunian objects have been discovered of significant size. While their radius remains provisional due to the recency of discovery, and is often expressed as a range, the approximate locations in this list are shown. A trans-Neptunian object (TNO) is any object in the solar system with all or most of its orbit beyond that of Neptune. ...

Minor planets, or asteroids or planetoids, are minor celestial bodies of the Solar system orbiting the Sun (mostly Small solar system bodies) that are smaller than major planets, but larger than meteoroids (commonly defined as being 10 meters across or less[1]), and that are not comets. ... This table includes Solar Systems planets, dwarf planets and planetary-sized moons (larger than 1000 km in diameter)[1].
