Category:Solar System

The Solar System or solar system consists of the Sun and the other celestial objects gravitationally bound to it: the eight planets, their 165 known moons, five officially-designated dwarf planets (including Pluto) and their six known moons, and billions of small bodies. Small bodies include asteroids, Kuiper belt objects, comets, meteoroids and interplanetary dust.

Notes:
Details on the new coding for clickable images is here: [1]
The smaller planets have a bit of an overlap just to ensure they're locatable, especially in the belts.
While it may look strange, it's important to keep the codes for a particular system in order. The clickable coding treats the first object created in an area as the one on top.
- I've placed moons on "top" so that their smaller circles won't disappear "under" their respective planets or dwarf planets.
The "poly" code would be more appropriate for the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. However, there appears to be a bug with that aspect of the code.
- I've compensated by using oversized circles for those moon groups, and tucking them UNDER their planets for now.
The Sun is a rectangle as that approximates the edge closely enough for the purposes of this template.
I've guessed as to the boundaries for the KB, SD, and OC - if they need adjustment, load the image into Paint and use the pencil tool to find the appropriate coordinates.
