A.1 Solar System
The solar system has $1.0014$ solar masses, which amounts to about $2 \times 10^{30}\, \, \text{kg}$. The Earth-Sun distance is $1 \, \text{AU} \simeq 500 \, \text{light second} \simeq 1.5 \times 10^{11}\, \, \text{m}$.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| distance | $0.00257$ | $2.769$ | $39.482$ | $67.864$ |
| radius | $0.2727$ | $0.073$ | $0.1868$ | $0.1825$ |

Properties of the Moon and dwarf planets of our solar system. The properties of the Moon refer to its distrance to and period around Earth. Ceres is the largest object in the meteorite belt between Mars and Jupiter. Eris is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt that is larger in mass than Pluto.
