Notes:
- As always, whenever we observe tables,
the point is NOT to try to memorize them which is impossible,
but to contemplate what they mean while observing them.
- The quantities:
planet or
planet-like
astronomical object
mean orbital radius
(in astronomical units
(
1 AU = 1.49597870700 × 1011),
the orbital period in years,
eccentricity
(a dimensionless number),
orbital inclination
(in degrees),
equatorial
in Earth equatorial radii
(Req,⊕ = 6378.1370 km).
