Notes: Surface
gravity g is given
in Earth gravities (1 gE = 9.803 m/s2); escape velocity is vesc; albedo is the
percent of ALL of the Sun's energy hitting the planet that is reflected (100% would be perfect reflection);temperature and surface
gravity for
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune are given at a depth where the atmospheric pressure = 1 Earth atmosphere; atmospheric
pressure (atm.
press.) is at the surface (> > 100 for the jovian planets); rotation is the
sidereal rotation period, h = hours and d = days; magnetic field (mag. field) is the total strength (NSSDC
gives strength in #gauss × Rplanet3, where Rplanet is the radius of the planet and Earth's
strength = 0.3076 gauss × RE3 =
7.981×1010 gauss.
