| Apr 30 at 23:10 | comment | added | gidds | @terdon It's a bar chart, so there's no X axis as such; it simply lists the values for the most significant bodies in our solar system (except for the Sun itself, of course). And it seems highly likely that the Y axis is the force of gravity at the surface of each body, relative to Earth's (i.e. in multiples of ɡ₀). Where the body is significantly aspherical, it shows values for both the equator and the poles. (Those bodies are all oblate, i.e. flattened at the poles, and so the latter values are larger.) … | |
