Template:Planet

This template can be used as a standardised sidebar on any planet page. Other astronomical bodies have their own template. The resulting layout can be seen on the right. The template uses the following variables:

Variables

 * Name : Name of the planet
 * Symbol : Astronomical symbol
 * ImageOrbital : Filename of an image, without "Image:" namespace prefix. Should be an image showing the planet from orbit, and can be omitted if such doesn't exist.
 * Location : Name of the Star System, followed by its position from the star
 * Diameter : Equatorial diameter of the planet in kilometres, followed by ‘km’
 * Temperature : Mean temperature range on the surface, measured in degrees Celsius, followed by ‘°C’
 * Distance : Distance from the sun, measured in astronomical units, followed by ‘AU’
 * Satellites : Name of natural satellites (moons.) Leave blank if unknown.
 * ImageSurface : Filename of an image, without "Image:" namespace prefix. Should be an image showing some detail on the surface, and can be omitted if such doesn't exist. At least one of the two images should be used.
