Lists of comets
Lists of comets refer to compilations or catalogs that document known comets, usually categorized by their characteristics such as their orbital parameters, the names of their discoverers, and other relevant information. Comets are typically named after their discoverers or based on the year of their discovery. There are a few key aspects typically included in lists of comets: 1. **Periodic Comets**: These are comets that have regular orbits around the Sun, returning at predictable intervals.
Lists of minor planets
Lists of minor planets refer to catalogs or databases that contain information about small celestial bodies in our solar system, specifically asteroids and comets. These bodies are often referred to collectively as "minor planets." The lists typically include several key pieces of information for each minor planet, such as: 1. **Designation/Number**: Each minor planet is assigned a unique numerical designation and often a name.
Lists of moons
"Lists of moons" typically refer to compilations or tables that catalog the natural satellites (moons) orbiting planets and other celestial bodies in the solar system and beyond. These lists can be organized in various ways, such as by the planet they orbit, size, discovery date, or other characteristics. Here are some common points of interest related to lists of moons: 1. **By Planet**: Moons are often grouped by the planets they orbit.
