	Legend for Statistics Page
** Telesto and Calypso share same orbit as Tethys: Telesto is about 60º ahead of Tethys. Calypso about 60º behind.
** Helene share same orbit with Dione: Helene is about 60º ahead of Dione.
*  Janus & Epimethius are co-orbital satellites: One will have a slightly higher orbit about Saturn. The other will orbit faster until it catches the first. Satellites exchange places via gravitational forces.
Distance measurements: From Sun, distance are expressed in Astronomical Units (AU). From planets, distances for moons are in kilometers (km).
A retrograde orbit is indicated by an R preceeding distance from planet or sun.
Diameter given is equatorial except where two or three dimensions are given.
Rotation on axis given in Earth time: Years (y), Days (d), Hours (h), and Minutes (').
Surface gravity (Earth=1): Multiplying your weight by this number will tell you what you would weigh on a particular body in the Solar System.
Density is given where that of water is equal to 1.
Average temperature/range in Fahrenheit and Censius (Centigrade).
