Description
English: Size comparison among not-planetary terrestrial bodies of the Solar System. The Moon, Io and Europa are primarily composed of silicate rocks and are commonly classified among terrestrial bodies.[1] Some astronomers also included Ceres in the list,[2] while others do not because of its low density.[3]
Italiano: Rapporto tra le dimensioni dei principali corpi celesti non planetari di tipo terrestre del Sistema solare. La Luna, Io ed Europa composte principalmente da roccia (informazione che può essere dedotta dai valori delle rispettive densità), sono comunemente classificate tra i corpi di tipo terrestre.[1] Anche il pianeta nano Cerere è incluso nella lista da alcuni studiosi,[2] sebbene altri tendano ad escluderlo.[3] La sua densità infatti è prossima al limite inferiore dei corpi rocciosi e lascia ipotizzare l'esistenza di un mantello riccho di ghiacci di materie volatili, come per i satelliti ghiacciati dei giganti gassosi (ad esempio Ganimede).
