System Data

The primary of the Terra system is Sol, an ordinary yellow main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 1 Sol, a mass of 1 Sol, and a diameter of 1.391 million km. Sol retains a family of four inner rocky worlds, a stony planetoid belt, and four outer gas giant worlds. The Kuiper Belt, an outer icy planetoid belt, exists at the system fringe but is rarely counted as a distinct world, despite containing a number of significant bodies. The system is named for Terra, the mainworld, the third world out from the star and orbiting within its habitable zone.
