** 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.
