Template:Infobox planet/doc

Also known as Infobox Small, Medium, or Large Lump of Rock, Gas, or Ice, possibly Spherical, that May (or May Not) be a Planet.

This template has been designed to hold information on planets (including extrasolar planets), dwarf planets, moons and minor planets. Some parameters will not be applicable to individual types; these parameters can be removed from the template call without any problems occurring. It is recommended that the comment in the usage section be copied to the top of the article page.

Usage notes

 * To display the Discovery section, call the template with discovery=yes.
 * To display the Designations section, call the template with designations=yes.
 * To display the Physical characteristics section, call the template with physical_characteristics=yes.
 * To display the Temperatures section, call the template with temperatures=yes.
 * To display the Atmosphere section, call the template with atmosphere=yes.
 * For Minor planets call the template with minorplanet=yes. This modifies several headings and their wikilinks to be minor-planet specific.
 * Also, for minor planets see here and Standard asteroid physical characteristics for standard formulas for computable values and sources of physical data.
 * For bodies orbiting a different body than the Sun, call the template with the argument apsis= This will substitute a different suffix to the default 'helion' for several orbital parameters. For example, setting 'apsis=astron' will change the 'perihelion', 'aphelion', and 'Argument of perihelion' labels into 'periastron', 'apastron', and 'Argument of periastron'.

Exosolar Planets
Below are the recommended parameters. All parameters listed in the "All parameters" section below are available.

Minor planets
See here for means of semi-automating this template's creation.


 * For satellites of minor planets, call the template with the argument apsis=astron This will change the 'perihelion'</tt>, 'aphelion'</tt>, 'Argument of perihelion'</tt>, etc. labels into 'periastron'</tt>, 'apastron'</tt>, and 'Argument of periastron'</tt>.
