Talk:List of Solar System objects

message: What are the criteria for whether a moon gets listed on this page? natural satellite has a fairly complete list of all the moons in the solar system. While it is clear that there are too many to list on this page, there doesn't seem to be criteria as to what should be listed - size seems to be a fairly obvious criterion (i.e. only list moons >100 km in diameter or something), but that is definitely not being followed now. As well, there are some moons which are arguably more "important" than others, but are smaller (i.e. Mars' moons Deimos and Phobos are smaller that many of Jupiter's lesser moons, but are better known). Anyone have any ideas?

replies: text: The page started out as having moons >1000km (as it says on the line starting with Planets). You just put in Mars' moons, which is the first violation of that criterion. So, in the long-term, we either need to remove Mars' moons or change the criterion. I'll temporarily remove Mars' moons until we settle on the criterion. -- hike395 05:38, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: It seems that Sedna is a trans-Kuiper object, but not a member of Oort cloud.--Nixer 20:51, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Until astronomers understand how it got the orbit that it has, its Oort cloud status is very doubtful. I've changed its heading to "Possibly inner Oort Cloud" Deuar 13:21, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Further to this point, I've tweaked it slightly by placing the description "possibly inner Oort Cloud" following "Sedna". A small change, but I think it makes the theory clearer. (Sedna is thus presented as an SDO that is possibly part of the inner Oort Cloud; with the previous version, there's no connection to the Scattered Disc.) Thoughts? --Ckatzchatspy 21:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Isn't the Oort Cloud a hypothetical mass? Thus Sedna is not be a member of the Oort Cloud, since the Oort Cloud is only a proposed mass. Am I missing something, or is that a correct statement? --Iamunknown 14:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose it could be a member of this hypothetical mass (although I doubt it). Deuar 15:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I realize it's more than two years I don't work on that. Huge shame on me. But I'd be happier to complete it if you know of some database containing such data that I can query automatically, so to build the list with a script (since, if we're going to include asteroids and satellites, it will be a huge list). Any hint? --Cyclopiatalk 17:47, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Including distance from the Sun is a great idea. Does anyone have a link to this information?--Wyn.junior (talk) 17:46, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

message: The new Venn diagram of solar system bodies is nice, but I think it's wrong: dwarf planets, including trans-Neptunian ones, are also minor planets. That's why they have minor planet numbers. Also, many comets are not trans-Neptunian. Tbayboy (talk) 03:15, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
