Usage

The {{Template:Infobox planet}} creates a table of statistics for a celestial body and automatically annotates these as semantic properties.

The current list of fields that this template supports includes:

• name - If the article is not about the planet itself, specify this parameter to give the box a proper name. The default is the name of the article. Use this especially if you wish to place more than one infobox in one article.
• image - Specify the full filename (with extension) of the available image. Default is example.jpg.
• caption - Specify an optional caption for this image.
• symbol - For the objects that have one.
• image2 - Specify only if you have a second image. If you have no image, then this will display nothing at all.
• date - date of discovery.
• discname - name of discoverer
• origname - statement of origin of the name of the body
• primary - Tell what the primary is.
• order - place among other satellites of this primary, if known.
• apsis - Specify "helion" or "gee" or "areion" or "zene" or even "astron" or "galacticon" to customize the label of periapses and apoapses. By default the sub-template {{apsides}} will select the root for you on the basis of the primary; its own default is the word "apsis."
• periapsis - Give the periapsis in one of the allowed units (km,mi)
• apoapsis - Give the apoapsis.
• semimajor - Give the semi-major axis.
• orbitradius - Give the mean orbital radius if different from the semi-major axis.
• orbitalspeed - Give the average orbital speed in km/s, km/h, mi/s, or mph.
• inclination - Give the inclination from the primary's equator in rad or degrees.
• siderealday - A sidereal day
• solarday - A solar day
• rotatespeed - Speed of a moving point at the equator
• axialtilt - Inclination of axis from a ray perpendicular to the orbital plane at the barycenter

The mass of the planet:

• massmt - Mantissa
• massexp - Exponent
• massunit - The units of mass. Default is kg.
• meanradius - The mean radius of the planet
• equatorradius - The equatorial radius
• polarradius - The polar radius
• density - The density
• surfacearea - the surface area
• landarea - the land area
• waterarea - the water area
• meantemp - Lukewarm
• mintemp - Cold
• maxtemp - Hot!
• moons - number of satellites
• composition - what it's made of
• albedo - brightness
• mfd - Magnetic flux density. Report in tesla or gauss; it will display only in tesla.

The present magnetic dipole moment:

• pmdmmt - Mantissa
• pmdmexp - Exponent
• pmdmunit - Unit. Default is N-m/T.

The magnetic dipole moment at creation, per Humphreys:

• cmdmmt - Mantissa
• cmdmexp - Exponent
• cmdmunit - Unit. Default is N-m/T.
• mdt - Magnetic decay time
• mhl - Magnetic half life
