  2. List of Solar System objects by size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Solar_System...

    Parts-per-million chart of the relative mass distribution of the Solar System, each cubelet denoting 2 × 10 24 kg. This article includes a list of the most massive known objects of the Solar System and partial lists of smaller objects by observed mean radius. These lists can be sorted according to an object's radius and mass and, for the most ...

  3. List of trans-Neptunian objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_trans-Neptunian_objects

    This list includes all numbered trans-Neptunian objects with a semi-major axis greater than 30.1 astronomical units (AU), Neptune's average orbital distance from the Sun. The data is sourced from MPC's "List of Trans Neptunian Objects" and "List Of Centaurs and Scattered-Disk Objects", completed with remarks and information from Johnston's Archive (diameter, class, binary, albedo, spectral ...

  4. List of centaurs (small Solar System bodies) - Wikipedia

    The list of centaurs is compiled from MPC's MPCORB data file [3] based on criteria defined by the JPL-SBDB, [a] and completed with objects from the List of Known Trans-Neptunian Objects [4] and The Deep Ecliptic Survey Object Classifications. [5] by William Johnston and Marc Buie, respectively. As of April 2022, this table contains 928 objects.

  5. List of proper names of exoplanets - Wikipedia

    Proper names of planetary systems often follow common themes – for example, the planets of the star Copernicus are named after European astronomers. Proper names for planets outside of the Solar System – known as exoplanets – are chosen by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) through public naming contests known as NameExoWorlds.

  7. Objects orbiting in space would not remain in orbit if not for the gravitational force, and gravitational fields extend even into the depths of intergalactic space. [5] [6] [7] The dark side of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The dark (far) side of the Moon receives about the same amount of light from the Sun as the near side.

  8. List of nearest exoplanets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_exoplanets

    The closest exoplanets are those found orbiting the star closest to the Solar System, which is Proxima Centauri 4.25 light-years away. The first confirmed exoplanet discovered in the Proxima Centauri system was Proxima Centauri b, in 2016. HD 219134 (21.6 ly) has six exoplanets, the highest number discovered for any star within this range.

  9. List of potentially habitable exoplanets - Wikipedia
