Due to popular demand, I've added yet another class of planets to the
Meghar Scale of Planetary Mass Classification - Enceladus - Icy Moons. http://cosmic.lifeform.org/?p=222 http://cosmic.lifeform.org/?p=166 Also, and excellent graph of planetary masses in our particular solar system has appeared recently on wikipedia, it's well worth printing out and clearly delimits the various orders of magnitude of planetary mass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:G...e_masses_2.png Just click on the image twice for full size and print in landscape mode. Of course, what we can see right now directly are the super gas giant planets, brown dwarfs and dwarf stars. We can't really even resolve the dwarf planets in our own solar system with the telescopes we have now. http://cosmic.lifeform.org |
