Template:Orbitbox planet/doc

Directory

This template is part of a group of templates that are used to display information about the orbital characteristics of an extrasolar planetary system. The list should always have {{OrbitboxPlanet begin}} as the first in the list, while the list should have {{Orbitbox end}} as the last in the list. This particular template can be used as follows:

{{OrbitboxPlanet
| exoplanet = <!--Name of the planet's letter (link is to be added)-->
| mass = <!--Mass of the planet, in Jupiter masses (can use mass_earth instead)-->
| mass_earth = <!--Mass of the planet, in Earth masses (can use mass instead)-->
| radius = <!-- Radius of the planet, in Jupiter radii -->
| radius_earth = <!-- Radius of the planet, in Earth radii -->
| semimajor = <!--Semimajor axis (or distance from star) of the planet in AU-->
| period = <!--Orbital period of the planet, in days-->
| eccentricity = <!--Eccentricity of the planet-->
| inclination = <!-- Orbital inclination (to the line of sight) -->
}}

The following templates are used together and (excluding the beginning and end) can be used multiple times in the same list as listed below.

{{Orbitbox planet begin}}

{{Orbitbox planet}} (only for extrasolar planets and unsure objects [not brown dwarfs]).

{{Orbitbox planet hypothetical}} (only for hypothetical planets)

{{Orbitbox planet disk}} (only for circumstellar discs)

{{Orbitbox end}}
