Solar System

The Solar System is the collection of objects gravitationally bound to the Sun. It is represented in game as a still orrery of the planets and large moons.

List of bodies

The size of each body is usually a multiple of the size of Earth. Earth is 4096 studs across. The proportions are loosely based on that of real life.
