  2. List of orbits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_orbits

    Geosynchronous (and geostationary) orbits have a semi-major axis of 42,164 km (26,199 mi). [10] This works out to an altitude of 35,786 km (22,236 mi). Both complete one full orbit of Earth per sidereal day (relative to the stars, not the Sun). High Earth orbit: geocentric orbits above the altitude of geosynchronous orbit (35,786 km or 22,236 mi).

  3. List of trans-Neptunian objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trans-Neptunian...

    This is a list of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), which are minor planets in the Solar System that orbit the Sun at a greater distance on average than Neptune, that is, their orbit has a semi-major axis greater than 30.1 astronomical units (AU). The Kuiper belt, scattered disk, and Oort cloud are three conventional divisions of this volume of ...

  4. List of gravitationally rounded objects of the Solar System

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gravitationally...

    This list does not include small Solar System bodies, but it does include a sample of possible planetary-mass objects whose shapes have yet to be determined. The Sun's orbital characteristics are listed in relation to the Galactic Center , while all other objects are listed in order of their distance from the Sun.

  5. List of Solar System objects by size - Wikipedia

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

    This list contains a selection of objects 50 and 99 km in radius (100 km to 199 km in average diameter). The listed objects currently include most objects in the asteroid belt and moons of the giant planets in this size range, but many newly discovered objects in the outer Solar System are missing, such as those included in the following ...

  6. Orbital elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_elements

    Real orbits have perturbations, so a given set of Keplerian elements accurately describes an orbit only at the epoch. Evolution of the orbital elements takes place due to the gravitational pull of bodies other than the primary, the nonsphericity of the primary, atmospheric drag , relativistic effects , radiation pressure , electromagnetic ...

  7. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    The first excited state has both HOMO electrons paired in one orbital with opposite spins, and is known as singlet oxygen. MO diagram of dioxygen triplet ground state. The bond order decreases and the bond length increases in the order O + 2 (112.2 pm), O 2 (121 pm), O − 2 (128 pm) and O 2− 2 (149 pm). [20]

    The orbit of Sedna (red) set against the orbits of outer Solar System objects (Pluto's orbit is purple). This is a list of Solar System objects by greatest aphelion or the greatest distance from the Sun that the orbit could take it if the Sun and object were the only objects in the universe.
